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. -
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
Archives not in Recent Documents

Archives used to show up in Recent Documents in the Start Menu, now they don’t. I’m using the latest version. Is this something that you have done? Or is s. th. wrong with my Windows?

Hi,
Windows XP
All upgrades and service packs. I have 9.51.02 of PowerArchiver. It doesn’t seem to have worked since the upgrade to ths version. Now I never see Archives appearing in the recently used documnts. Do they only appear if you save the archive? Or should they appear when you just open the archive. Previously they always appeared even if I just opened them.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?
-
there is probably some way to tell windows what YOU consider as “documents”. I can see the files are listed there, Windows just does not display those extensions. It is something related to WinXP and not PA.

As far as I know, Windows XP handles zip files as folders and make its search within zip files too.
To avoid this you have to unregister the “zipfldr.dll” and, after that, make the PowerArchive association again.
To unregister (“Start>Run”):
regsvr32 /u c:\windows\system32\zipfldr.dll
To register again (default XP):
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\zipfldr.dll
I have done it in my system and all went fine. Make a Restore Point just in case…
