    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

    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.

      See the two images attached.

      The first I get by default when I drag and drop.

      The second the drop down profile becomes active, and I can add the ZIPx profile I created.

        Thanks Socrates, I was able to find a similar issue with compression profiles and D&D into archive and that is logged in.

        However, could not find/reproduce what you posted.
        Could you provide a more detailed screenshot and explanation so that I may exactly reproduce and log it in.
        Thanks!

          Perhaps I am misunderstanding your question.

          Just stick the attached image between the 2 I sent earlier.

          (1) right after D&D I cannot see the profile (or choose among profile options) — previous Profile1 image
          (2) I shift to another format (see new attached image)
          (3) then back to Zip format, and the drop down profile options appear (previous Profile 2 image.

          That help?

              I ask as the D&D dialog is what is in the screenshot and the compression profiles option is different than what is shown in your screenshot.
              That is why i asked for a larger/more detailed screenshot.

                I don’t have ZipStore as an option no matter what. And I have ZIPX only because I added it.

                I cannot think of anything else to send you other than what I have sent.

                If you all are just not sure, there’s no reason to ask any more. I will just plan on taking the extra steps everytime I d&d.

                Sorry I cannot be of more help.

                  The options in the dropdown shown in my screenshot are profiles i created as well.
                  I posted the screenshot to show what the D&D dialog looks like, differing from what I can comprehend in the screenshot you sent.

                  I guess I’ll try to decipher your screenshots and try to reproduce the issue. Thanks!

                    maybe check with professors pa registry and see if you can reproduce it like that. it might be due to the specific profile.

                      All you need look at for sure is Profile 1 image I sent 2-3 days ago. When I first try to d&d the profile drop down window is greyed out – and so the other features are wrong.

                      Only after I change to another format (say, 7z) and then back to zip does the profile drop down window become active (is no longer greyed out).

                      The very first image identifies the problem (by my lights). the other two only show what I must do to get the profile drop down window to work.

                        I was finally able to figure it out.
                        It happens when dragging a file onto a Zipx archive, in windows explorer for example. (file not open in main PA)

                        Logging it in.

                          Thanks.

                          Sorry it took me so long to explain it clearly. My bad. That is almost always the way I add files to an archive, so I erroneously assumed most other people did the same. Duh. I am slow.

                              Goodness. No need to apologize. It is my job to explain the problem clearly. You all have a difficult enough job as it is.

                              I am just glad I was finally able to explain it clearly enough.

                              Thanks for a great product.

                                ah, dragging into the icon? :-).

                                you see how many different scenarios there are!

                                  Many ways of doing it. But D&D onto the icon always seemed the easiest.

                                  Which is why I would also like to be able to move or copy depending on which keys I hold down while D&D (which key combinations matters now) — just as move seems the default in Win 7, but holding down the CTRL key while doing it copies the file.
