    • PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files

      Brian Gregory

      PA 21.00.18 running on Windows 7 64 bit.
      I made a big .PA file and thought I’d check it was made correctly with Menu / Actions / Test.
      Discovered:
      a) PA always issues a UAC prompt to do this!
      b) PA always says there are many errors in PA files.

    • Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives

      W

      WinRAR 5 has a rather useful option in some cases, which is to be able to create an archive by replacing identical files with a reference to the first occurrence (hardlink) within the archive.
      In case you choose to convert the file with PowerArchiver to another format, however, the resulting archive does not have all the files. It does not consider those that were present as hardlinks.
      If you do a normal extraction of the RAR archive instead, even with PowerArchivier, all the files are extracted correctly.

    • Some bugs on Advanced options

      W

      When adding to a file archive, and selecting for example PA format, strong optimization method, extreme compression. In the Advanced Options section you change to Automatic, EXE Filter and PDF filter . You return to the main section and save the Profile. When you then reload the profile you do not have the Automatic options of EXE Filter and PDF saved there.
      I noticed that instead if you change other options they are saved correctly (except for the Filter box values).

      Also among the various changes to the advanced options you click the “Calculate RAM usage” button the value seems to be added to the previous one. You can see it for example just by clicking the button twice in a row, the value changes. Edit: actually after many attempts now it seems to write a stable value (it does not change with each click). Maybe a synchronization problem in the calculation?

      Used PowerArchivier 2023 but there is the same behavior with the 2022

      if you install and run the program form http://www.ccleaner.com/

      You will see that PA is in the list. My question is, why does it have PA in the list? Does PA leave temp files behind? Does anybody have any idea?

        i suggest checking the features - it cleans everything, even MRU lists, etc, so every program in the world could be there…

          this is what it cleans:

          RegKey1=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Active_File1
          RegKey2=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Active_File2
          RegKey3=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Active_File3
          RegKey4=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Active_File4
          RegKey5=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Active_File5
          RegKey6=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Extract1
          RegKey7=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Extract2
          RegKey8=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Extract3
          RegKey9=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Extract4
          RegKey10=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Extract5
          RegKey11=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Last open dir
          RegKey12=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Last backup dir
          RegKey13=HKCU\Software\PowerArchiver\Files|Last add dir

          Not that big of a deal.

            it is MRU list, PA does not leave these behind when you uninstall. It could be for privacy reason that you want them deleted while you still have PA installed.
