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. -
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
Shell Extension - Archive Converter

The shell extension command to convert an archive is broken. :rolleyes:
-
you mean it does not add the file to the converter file list? :-)

Yes I see that too - plus I get a small window with the text “I/O error 103” (Uses PA skin but has no title - just an OK button).
However, BH file was created
This was Zip to BH conversion.Then tried with “Tar.gz” to “Zip”
This gives “I/O error 104” and no Zip file is created.Note: the error window appears when PA deletes the temp directory.

Yes, Spwolf, that’s exactly what I’m saying. It does not add the file to the list like it did before. And, it’s annoying.
Hello Terry! It’s been a while…… :D

Yes, I’m seeing the same problem too. Convert from the context menu has “Ok” grayed out. I can convert archives that I open with PA normally, but, I use the context menu quite often. :(
-
please try latest version from the website…
thanks,

All OK in PA 9.63.02 :D

All is still not well with PA v9.6.3.2. When trying to convert an archive I get the following error on the first try:```
Faulting application powerarc.exe, version 9.6.3.2, faulting module powerarc.exe, version 9.6.3.2, fault address 0x00001d62. -
please outline step by step how are you converting it and what you are converting…

On the second try, it is successful.At which point in the process?
Convert from what to what?
Does the original (from) archive open / extract OK with P.A. ?
Enough working disk space (temp directory) ?Edit: Beaten by Spwolf - must type faster…

Something must have gone awry with my system when I posted that. Since that time, I’ve been unable to reproduce the error. It may have had something to do with having the U3 version installed previously, but more testing is needed.
