    End of Powerarchiver

    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W
    Copied the Take Command shortcut, changed Target to be wt.exe -p “Take Command” and saved it. Right-clicked to get to properties and Explorer crashed. (wt.exe is the Microsoft Terminal program, which I have installed from the Microsoft Store.) The Target path had changed to: C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe -p “Take Command” Created a new shortcut in a Start Menu folder and set the command line to the same, and it crashed the same. Created a new shortcut and set the command line to mspaint.exe (also a Windows Store app) and Explorer crashed on right-click on the shortcut. It appears PowerArchiver shell extensions doesn’t handle Windows Store apps in shortcuts properly. Perhaps it needs better defensive coding around checking the Target of shortcuts, or just ignoring shortcuts altogether. Running PA 22.00.11 on Windows 11 24H2 Build 26100.6584

    Affected by winrar/.rar vulnerability?
    C
    Was Power Archiver affected by the WinRAR/.rar vulnerability discovered by ESET researchers recently? Not sure if PA is using their libraries for extraction.

    Ultimate zip was made by powerarchiver
    D
    From google search AI Overview Yes, that’s correct. UltimateZip was indeed a product of the same company that developed PowerArchiver, and it was essentially a rebranded version of PowerArchiver. It was discontinued and replaced by PowerArchiver.

    News/Update on PowerArchiver/Connexion in 2024
    TheAndyMacT
    Hi everyone, some good news about PowerArchiver… I’ve managed to get in touch with the original developer of PowerArchiver, Ivan Petrovic, and he has confirmed that the product is not dead or abandoned, in fact it is still very much alive! There has been a hiatus over the past months for various reasons, but that we should expect to see stuff coming through in the coming months (hopefully the next 2 months).

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D
    Basically I used powerarchiver context menus to zip up a folder then i used windows 11 own built in zip extractor via the context menu to extract all and this is where it throw up a fault. , I’m using windows 11 . The file that was a problem in the zip that windows 11 could not extract was iva “babe” cotton.jpg I know it has non standard quotes in it. However I had winrar on the computer and tried the exact same method with their context menu compress to zip and then I extracted the file with windows own extract all context menu and it had no problems. This indicates that powerarchiver is doing something different with iva “babe” cotton.jpg compressing to zip. Then I changed iva “babe” cotton.jpg to iva babe cotton.jpg and compressed it with powerarchiver and then tried it with windows 11 extract all and had no problems. It looks like powerarchiver is doing something to that one file that has quotes in it. Please note that powerarchiver extracted both zip files with no problems, only windows built in zip extraction had the fault. Reason I’m letting people know in case they send zip files with special characters in files names to people who do not have powerarchiver. When will a fix be implemented?

    PA2023 22.00.09 trying to delete a directory from a tar file.
    Brian GregoryB
    I had a large .tar file (a backed up WSL) and I want to delete a few directories and their contents from it using PA2023. PA just destroys the whole archive as soon as I try to delete a directory, leaving it in a state where PA2023 won’t even open it any more. I tried several times and also tried compressing it to .tar.xz instead - same result. This should either actually work, or it should say operation not supported and do nothing.

      Mili you can sign up for trial account here:
      http://www.livedrive.com/SignupToLivedrive/

      he needs pro account for ftp access?

      Go for the Pro Suite (£14.95) this is similar to the account i have, although mine has all features unlimited storage and i pay about £7. :)

        tried that, asks for credit card information at end of signup and does not let you sign up without it
        :(

        It wont charge you unless you go over your trial period. Worst case you can remote my system and use my system as a template.

        hopefully, i have given you enough data to gain an idea of whats going on.

        Couldnt you contact the software firm who provided you with the FTP Source code and see if they know about anything similar? surely they have people who can help?

              Not sure yet, will check though :)

              I’ve also checked this;
              2. When the user clears the port number as 0 or nill on save it defaults it to 21 or whatever number relivant to the mode. [ stop this please, if a user has removed it after it being there in the 1st place they wanting to]

              If you enter zero in the port number field and save it as that, than zero is saved.
              If you just clear the port number field and leave it blank, it goes back to 21 as that is default, which seems correct, no?

                Seems logical, I know in FileZilla it is kept Blank if cleared, but obviosly in the background it keeps it as default.

                It might be worth you downloading Filezilla its freeware and opensource. It might give you guys a platform to compare against your own FTP and roll out enhancements.

                  simply copying everything from another ftp is not going to happen… if there is specific wish to be had, there is wishlist. Our FTP is there to save you time compared to others when using common tasks which 99% of people use, not for billions of features. It is like PA vs WinZip - FTP is designed to be more of WinZip, in having crucial features :-).

                    I’m not asking for you to copy it but I expect powerarchivers ftp to work if not better than a commercially available freeware program.

                    And I know it did during development so it’s frustrating having a tool I used to have working and now I can’t and now. Have a freeware doing a better job…

                    As soon as its fixed the filezilla can be uninstalled and I can start using my favourite backup tool for ftp transfers again.

                          BOOM! SUCESS! FIXED! RESOLVED!

                          I am now able to connect to my livedrive account as fast as a commerically available ftp client! with no current sign of issues.

                          I obviosly, will be testing this out and let you know if there is a problem but from my 1st impression its back to what it was during alpha development.

                          Thanks team! you made a pro user very happy.
