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
Pa 2006?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking at purchasing, but have a few questions.
When encrypting/ decrypting is any problems with AV, Spyware program running in real time protection guard. I use Nod32 and it’s always scanning, just wondering if this would interfere.
I need to send SFX files through email. Is this easy enough to do?
Thanks

Hi!
I’d used Nod32 and had no problems with PowerArchiver.
What about sending SFX files through email – PowerArchiver is not Email client but it has feature that can send archives. But problem is that most Email Servers reject .exe attachments because of security reasons (Viruses, Spyware, etc) so you may want to sand “normal” (non SFX) archives with “normal” archive extensions (.zip .7z …) -

Ya, you’re right about the .exe being detected through the servers. I forgot about that. Thanks for pointing these things out.

If you are usign Outlook, you could use our plugin, which has an feature than renames last letter of the extension, so mail servers would not block it.
It also supports creating SFX’s.
