I just tried using PA2017 to create a .pa extreme compression archive of a DSF file.
I left # of threads at Auto Select and it used 1 thread (25% CPU usage)
I cancelled that and created it again, this time manually selecting 4 threads and now it’s using 100% of the CPU.

I have a pae2 file that has multiple text files in it. When I open the file, I can double click one of the files and I can view it in a powerarchiver tab.

If you close that tab and attempt to open any other file in the archive, it will no longer open or extract. Only option after closing the tab is to close powerarchiver and reopen the file. If you don’t close the view tab, you can open other files as multiple tabs as long as you don’t close any of the viewer tabs. As soon as you close one tab, you no longer can view or extract any file.

Edit: didn’t realize this was the forum for PA format bugs until after I posted. If this can be moved to general bugs that would be great (unless the bug affect PA format viewing as well)

I have power archiver toolbox version. when i right click and select compress to xxxx.pa then i show buy windows despite of toolbox version.
