    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.

                @south37 unfortunately without debugger running, windows log is not useful to us. Once we can reproduce it on development machine, we can usually see exact code causing the issue.

                  tried reproducing here as well with the settings, no luck.
                  does it occur on one specific file or all files?

                  If it’s on a specific file, could you send it please?

                  thanks

                    It occurs on all files. I created a small archive with test text files and the error occurs on that as well as on larger archives.
                    So it is not the file itself but something else.

                    The only clarification I would make is that I initially said that the crash happens immediately after pressing the key. In fact it takes about a second or two before the crash occurs. After pressing the key to jump to the file, I can still move up or down in the file list with the arrow keys before the crash occurs. If I press the arrow keys quickly enough the crash is delayed quite a while and occasionally does not occur at all. But I can’t use the 1st char jump method to select another file before the crash occurs.

                      @south37 Can you try exporting HKCU\Software\PowerArchiverInt and sending it over please? Then try using Options> Reset to Default and see if this issue still happens for you.

                      You can recover your settings by running that reg of course.

                      Maybe some setting that causes issue is not exported via Options.

                      much appreciated!

                        I have exported the registry keys and emailed them.

                        After resetting to installation defaults, the problem is still there. PA crashes still.

                          Hi,

                          I encounter the same issue ;-(

                          • On my pro laptop (Windows 7) or my personnal desktop ( Windows 10 Redstone 2).
                          • I’m admin on both of computers;
                          • Normally registered user for both Windows and PA;
                          • Problem with RAR ou ZIP compression format, not seems to be linked with file, but HCI only;
                          • Same issue if preview panel is opened or not;
                          • Windows settings on my desktop PC : desktop folder is not on default folder.

                          My way to reproduce :

                          1. I open a RAR file [with one folder (and many things in it)];
                            The folder is beggining with digit 1;
                          2. I just click on the key ‘1’ and after 1 or 2 seconds, Windows pop-up with failure

                          What explains south37 is exactly what i have too : if i use a zip file with many entries, i can type one letter, and PA jump to the correct item, and i can still move till app crashes.

                          .
                          .
                          Using Procmon from sysinternals.com, i saw a result ‘Invalid PARAMETER’ trying to read Data/list directory.
                          Last event is making a QueryOpen on ‘PowerArchiver 2017.lnk’ on my desktop with a Result Name not found. (i d’on’t want/checked th desktop shortcut).

                          I sent an e-mail with procmon log file (sorry, french info in zip)

                          Maybe with this it’s better to fund the issue ?

                            thanks very much for sending over the information @cporeaux

                            We still have not been able to reproduce the issue and it is essential that we reproduce it.
                            Could you please send us a sample file that reproduces the error for you?

                            We hope to then reproduce it here so we can log it in for fixing.

                            Thanks!

                              Hi,

                              So it should be linked with the environment and not the compressed file only ?
                              I’ll send you a very short file, the problem does occur with it also.
                              If you have any other test to do or if you have a version to have more log for you, still no pb.

                              Regards

                                        @spwolf I didn’t keep it installed too long. It looks ok, but when I tried to edit a text file from an archive it didn’t prompt me to update the archive even though the option (under Miscellanous) “Ask to update if file has been changed” was checked.
