    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.

    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

      I have installed the version 10 beta 2 and cannot get the virus scan feature to work. In version 9.63 I entered the scan program as:

      C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG7\avgw.exe

      and then under “paramaters” I entered:

      /SE “C:\Documents and Settings\my user name\Local Settings\PowerArchiver Temp Files”

      Of course I set up the temp directory and everything scanned and worked great. Now when I do this in version 10 Beta 2 the scan seems to take place, but shows 0 objects scanned and 0 errors. If I revert to 9.63 the above lines work. Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks,
      Normandie

        instead of support response :-).

        Try without folders included into the setting. PA should automatically read your temp folder from other settings.

        So under parameters:
        /SE

        Let me know how it works.

        thanks,

          Sorry I should have listed the other things I have tried, they are:

          /SE
          /SE%1
          /SE%D

          None of them worked at all. thanks for trying. I guess we will have to wait for a fix.

          Have a good day,

                Thanks, it is not a big bug, just a tiny little one, no rush, I can live without it for now.

                    This bug is still not fixed in Beta 4. I think I may go back to 9.64 until this is fixed, it is becoming more needed.
