    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?

    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.

          due to new issue/project management tool we use, it is easy to export these… it is not 100% list since we had 7 internal releases to get to here but overall yes, it is nice :-)

            Hi,

            I have not been using PowerArchiver for a while and decided to use it again. A few comments.

            The various modules i.e. the burner, backup etch, is it possible to run it with the same theme as the main program when you run them individually?

            In the burner, if you make a cd\dvd from an iso image there seems to be no option to verify the disc? Could it be possible to have an option not to eject the disc once it is burnt?

            Thanks

            Brett

              they should run with the same theme… if they are not, try changing skin to something else and back to desired skin. Mili will comment about verify.

                Hi

                I use the Windows 10 theme, but if I run the dvd burner program separately, it opens with a lot of colourful tiles. If I run the burner from within Powerachiver, then it uses the correct theme

                  hello,

                  The highlighted Options button will bring up an additional options dialog where you can select verify files after burning.

                  Will also check skins when apps are run standalone. thanks!

                    Hi,

                    I have no options when I select the option to burn a disc from an ISO image, if I do a normal burn then the option is there. Could you also add an option not to eject the disc after burning? I have almost damaged by drive because my previous burning software never ejected the disk.

                      We will check if the option to load tray back after burning can be added to ISO burner as well.

                      Also, if you use the “load disc back on finish” option in regular burner, let us know how it worked out of you.

                      Thanks!

                        Hi,

                        Another function/ability that is missing from PowerArchiver is the ability to extract a exe driver file, like the Intel Chipset drivers, other programs like 7-zip allow you to extract the contents of the exe so you can then manually install the drivers without running the installer. I cant seem to be able to do this with PowerArchiver.

                          Once an EXE installation is opened in PowerArchiver, PowerArchiver will prompt whether to install it or open it.
                          Post a link to the driver’s you found, we’ll take a look.

                          Thanks!
