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
PA10: Pressing Minimize button will pause the compression

PA10: Pressing Minimize button will pause the compression (Compression progress window)
It would be better if PA would continue packing or unpacking even if you press the minimize button.

it is paused only while you are holding the button… when window is minimized, compression works fine…

it is paused only while you are holding the button…
I know but what is the reason for this?

thats how the control works… Seriously though, since it doesnt take more than a second to press the button…
-
since there are just 2 options in the pulldownmenu, why not omitting it and just add 2 buttons for it instead.
so there is no pause.
pulldownmenus just make sense if there are a lot of commands behind the menu.

we tried that and couldnt make it look good… there is still pause if you hold button pressed…
But again, thats less than a second, I really dont see it as an issue.

maybe you could put it on the wishlist.
now and then if it’s technically feasable you could try to omit the pause ;)
