    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.

      Hello,

      In the PowerArchiver 2007 10.00.22 Beta 6,
      are some missing things ;)

      1. the Self-Extracion Maker (form menu)
      -now we have more options, but why I need to set it, all the time when I make SFX from compressed files,

      good thing that will be to set deufalts options for this in PA settings,
      because I want to create SFX like it was in PA2006 (only 1 click:D)
      and I dont want to test it, when I create it, I was very annoying
      **
      2. the SFX wizard**
      there are some missing options when we choose SFX format
      missing are options Deflate 64 in Zip and Ultra mode & soild archiv in 7z

      PASSWORS ARE NOT MASKED !!!
      when I wrote it

      and why Is always set options to execute and test create archive, its very annoying thing,
      mayby the PA2007 will be remember my last settings for that

      3. hmm, and some wired thing :p

      When I compres folder with some files like
      archive.7z
      pictures
      1.jpg
      2.jpg

      and next I create SFX from it

      and unpack it to desktop, the PA2007 unpack only files without folder, but folder was included in this archive

              I can confirm Virtual_ManPL’ #3, but #'s 1 and 2 are confusing. Virtual_ManPL, could you please provide precise steps to reproducing your 1 and #2 issues? Thanks

              WinXP +SP2 + IE7 + PA 2007 Beta 6

                Issues 1 & 2 are no real issues, but anyoing things.

                **
                Issue 1**
                When, I create SFX (with right mouse click) from some compressed file I always must to set options for it,

                But it should will be like in the old PA2006 (1 click and I make SFX),

                and all Options for this SFX like Deufalt UnZip folder, File conflict should will be in the main PA2007 settings,

                because I dont to always set unzip to current directory and prompt user before overwrite.

                Second annoying thing is, the PA2007 always asked me to test created SFX,
                But its should be options to disable this message.

                **Issue 2
                **When I make SFX with SFX Wizard,
                there should be added options like
                use Deflate 64 in Zip or Ultra mode & soild archiv in 7z

                and when I write password for this SFX archive the password is not masked

                and there we have like in SFX maker (from right mouse click) very annyoing message to execute and test create archive
                but I should have options to disable this annyoing message
