BETA: PowerArchiver 2023 - 22.10.02

send us your pbs, it will explain few things.

I have created a new one specially for you, very small just a few files in 1 folder. Same settings as my normal backup. Nothing private to worry about.
I will attach it here for quickness if that’s Ok.

You are testing archive in backup?

No. Just testing the archive itself. Opening it up in PA and clicking on test.

eh, you should have said you were testing the file :-).
It seemed as if it was happening in backup, not actual PA.

[Luxor]

Thought I did.
@Luxor:

After I ran my backup I tested it and it did not even ask for my password, off it went and at the end I got the message:- Warning: 2287 Error(s) found in the archive: My Backup-27-03-2009.zip

Sorry for the misunderstanding but I thought it was clear in my explanation.

Just noticed if I browse to the file in explorer and use shell extension Test. Then that is fine.
Password box appears and it runs with no error.

[spwolf]

basically no pass is asked for testing, hence the errors… if you open single file, password will be saved for the session and it will work fine.

Ok now you’ve lost me.

For years now I have been running my backup script. Then opened the resulting archive in PA then hit the test button and always had to put in my password. The test runs and I get the report.

If I understand you correctly, I now having to open my archive then open a single file, then put in my password to the view the file and only then I can test the whole archive. :confused:

To do that rather than just with one click (the way I have always done it) seems a bit long winded to me.

its a bug, not an feature :-).

archive itself is fine though, which is the important part.

thanks!
