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.
Changing profiles

How do I change profile settings? When I create a profile and change the settings, it’s not possible to change them after that. They are restored to the first time I changed the settings.
1. Create profile
2. close config
3. goto created profile
4. change settings. They are never saved.Guido

Anyone else can reproduce this problem? I cannot…

Not for “simple” profile
I modify TAR default to Bzip, then create new TAR profile. I can change the compression between Tarred and Gzip in the new TAR I created.Perhaps it depends on specific settings :confused:
-
Still cannot reproduce this in Beta 1. Seems that chaning profiles in all formats including TAR works for all situations I have tried.
-
When you press the OK button, only the selected profile is saved.
1. create 2 profiles
2. change profile 1
3. select profile 2
4. change profile 2
5. select profile 1Your previous changes are gone. You can only change 1 profile at a time. I thought that when you change a profile it is saved automaticly

You can only change 1 profile at a time.
I thought that was intentional - as it has always been that way :confused:

Never used them before :-)

Seems to be fixed.
