    Website ideas
    D davidsplash
    I do like the new website though I would like to have support tap to include in its menu the community forums. As at first I thought you got rid of them until I accidently went to bottom of support form page. It would be nice to have a menu for approved plugins for powerarchiver. I would be willing to test them for you.

    Open source

    Could powerarchiver be open sourced as I fear it is going to be lost once you decide to stop development on it.

    Missing Icons
    LuxorL Luxor
    Just tried using the Modern (Windows 10) Icon set and seeing a few missing icons in both PowerArchiver Burner and PowerArchiver Encryption screens . They are all there in the Minimalistik icon set and the only difference I can see is the former is blue and the latter grey. In version 22.00.9 [image: 1695053428163-powerarc_2023-09-18_17-00-19.png] [image: 1695053445119-powerarc_2023-09-18_17-01-05.png]

    Missing or ugly SFX-Icon
    MerowingerM Merowinger
    When I create a SFX-file from a zip (not from a 7-Zip) it happens that there is no icon for the file or a really ugly, pixelated icon. [image: 1563693941255-unbenannt-1.jpg]

    Windows 11 Shell Extension crash
    W wilsonp
    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 cmmpc
    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 davidsplash
    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 TheAndyMac
    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).

    BETA PowerArchive 22.00.11 - Windows 11 Context Menu duplicated/additional tier

    The Windows 11 context menu for PowerArchiver on normal files (to be compressed, etc.) is now showing multiple tiers with two identical menus. See attached captures of the issue: [image: 1736325038084-screenshot-2025-01-08-082909.png] [image: 1736325038147-screenshot-2025-01-08-082935.png] [image: 1736325038176-screenshot-2025-01-08-082953.png] Edition Windows 11 Pro Version 24H2 OS build 26100.2605

    Zip extraction from windows 11 by windows
    D davidsplash
    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?

        I sent the links to two files using the support form. See Ticket ID: 25938.

        By the way, I don’t think this happened with earlier versions of PowerArchiver. I think it started in the last month or two.

            [QUOTE=spwolf;29431This should work now!
            Please check and let us know!

            Nope. Still broken. Here’s the steps I used to test the new version.

            A. Downloaded and installed PowerArchiver version 13.00.24.

            B. Downloaded a new compressed raw access log similar to the one I provided a link to in Support Ticket ID 25938.

            C. Opened the destination folder to watch the progress of the extraction.

            D. Invoked PowerArchiver by opening the compressed (.gz) file.

            E. Started the extraction.

            F. The PowerArchiver progress bars advance to 100 percent and a file is written to the destination folder.

            G. The uncompressed file is immediately deleted.

            In an attempt to find other failure modes, I deleted all files from the destination directory. Then I tried the extraction again. Now PowerArchiver asks me to confirm a file overwrite. It wants to replace a non-existent file of about 103 megabytes with a file of the same name with “?” bytes. It’s confused but I answer Yes anyway. The extraction takes place and the file in the destination directory is immediately deleted.

              please send us 7zipped your PA settings that you can save via Options> Configuration> Save settings to a file.

              Previously it extracted the file 2x in shell, 3x in main PA, but for me now it works fine.

              Here it never deleted the file. It might be connected to your settings, or maybe AV?

                    About a week ago I received a note from support on the trouble ticket that I filed. They have reproduced the problem in the 32 bit version of Windows. Eventually a fix will be forthcoming.

                      Hi,

                      please check PA 2012 13.00.25 via Patchbeam and see if it works better now… thanks!

                      p.s. problem was that for these files (not every gz!), under 32bit, PA engine would set the files with hidden flag, so they ended up being hidden :-).

                        I installed 13.00.25 and restarted my computer. I opened one of the raw access logs that always failed before. Now it extracts the file and does not delete it.

                        We’re now back to the PowerArchiver I remember. Whatever was broken in version 13 is now repaired. :)
