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
Select file deleting problem.

I dont know if this is a bug or not, but ive had this problem throughout all the powerarchiver releases ive tried 8-9.
In zome zip files whenever i try to delete a certain file a from a zip by selecting it and hitting delete it progresses but the file isnt deleted. The only way to successfuly delete the chosen file from the zip is by selecting delete and manually typing in the name of the file.
Would love to hear some feedback on this its wierd almost as if the file isnt recognized as being selected when i try to delete it… -
what type of file are you trying to delete and what is the name of it and what is it. What size is it and can you post it to the forums. this will aid the developers a bit. As for the ault i have not come across it with powerarchiver only that you can’t delete the archive itself without using explorer and deleting it that way.

There was a problem with deleting feature in version 9.00.30. Can you please use “Help” -> “Check for update” and download 9.00.31 and then check.
-
That was it I was using the .30 version, after uninstalling it and reinstalling the new .31 everything works smooth now.
I thought I was having this problem in version 8 as well(seemed to happen with any zip file, regardless of the filename or format of the file inside when the zip was around 1mb or above) and it would push me away from using it.
Now thats fixed I’ve found my new and only archive utility.
Thanks.
