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

    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.

        You must create archive with encrypted filenames, but ZIP format doesn’t support doing this…

        Another way is to add archive to another encrypted archive… So you will need to extract archive from archive and then open extracted archive.

              nice, but the problem is that PAE can contain only one file…

              and adding some archive to PAE is almost the same as my second solution… :)

                except that in PAE, everything is transparent, so you dont even know there is an archive underneath. Then PAE behaves as an normal archive.
