    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.

      In Classic GUI mode, I can’t rearrange the toolbar icons by drag and drop in Customize Toolbar.
      Would have been better with Up and Down buttons at the side.

      we will see if we can add that, Toolbar is all new now. Thanks!

                can you send over screenshot of what you get with fonts in .49? It saves font size/type in listviews, but works fine for me on default settings… maybe cabbed .reg file as well so we can reproduce?

                many thanks!!!

                  Ok,
                  Outside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled everything is gone.
                  Disable “Use Checkboxes” and the Filelist returns but the Tree remains gone.

                  Inside of Archives with “Use Checkboxes” enabled is fine.
                  Disable “Use Checkboxes” everything remains fine.

                  BTW, can the next forum upgrade include support for WebP images please!

                      Since this seems to be the PA 16 bug thread…

                      1. Updated to PA 16.00.46 from auto update of PA 2015 required new license key without any warning that I noticed. That would be really annoying if I wasn’t already on support and perpetual licenses.

                      2. Launch the PowerArchiver Encryption Suite, Click Encrypt Files, click the Red X to close window and get an Access Violation dialog. On Win 10 November 2015 x64 Enterprise Edition.

                      3. Select a group of files in File Explorer and pick Compress To…|Compress With Options… and get the PA 2016 status dialog over top of the options dialog and clicking the options dialog doesn’t bring it to front - the status dialog is always over top the options dialog (!). Have to drag options dialog out from under status dialog. (Note: This may be (partially) related to my having DisplayFusion running and set to move new windows to the monitor my mouse cursor is on and I have two monitors.)

                        This “In options, when one clicks on the always on top button, is it meant to change colour to signify that it has been pressed? There is no such indication at the moment” has not been fixed as of version 16.00.48.

                                keep looking at that options issue if it happens again, not sure if that was intentional fix since it was just reported yesterday.

                                As to the PAES crash, cant reproduce here. Can you please export your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverINT to the reg file, cab it and send it over to support at conexware dot com. That way we might be able to reproduce it.

                                thanks!

                                  My previous bug report (check original post for screenshot) remains in build 50 and “Use Checkboxes” disabled or enabled has nothing to do with it.

                                  In options:
                                  Browsing View set to Details = Buggy
                                  Browsing View set to List = fine
                                  Browsing View set to Thumbnails = fine

                                  After switching to Thumbnails and then back to Details, Details is fine until PA closed and restarted again. Once PA is loaded things are missing again.

                                  Haven’t really found a workaround for the missing items in the Tree pane either :(

                                    didnt get to it yet, it requires more than just a browsing view on default + details it works fine. I will check with Ivan if he can take a look at this tomorrow since it is a larger issue. I can reproduce it with your reg at any time so thats good!

                                    edit: if you move to Classic Light skin for few days, that will work. It only happens with Classic Dark skin.
                                    edit2: wrong colors are set, thats why it is missing… it is there but with white text color.

                                          Confirmed using Classic Light skin works and I’ll keep using until PA 2016 Final is released.

                                          no need to wait until final. .51 is here!

                                            keep looking at that options issue if it happens again, not sure if that was intentional fix since it was just reported yesterday.

                                            As to the PAES crash, cant reproduce here. Can you please export your HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverINT to the reg file, cab it and send it over to support at conexware dot com. That way we might be able to reproduce it.

                                            thanks!

                                            Sadly your pessimism was correct, Options dialog showed up behind status dialog a couple of times today - in one case, DisplayFusion did not move dialogs to another monitor and was on my primary monitor, so not sure that is related.

                                            Emailed cab file with reg key as well.
