    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.

      Hi,
      I have an rar archive that I’m trying to extract files from that has a folder, a subfolder and then data in that subfolder. When I extract that subfolder it does not copy all the data in it. I have to manually go to the folder and copy the data.

      Running PA 10.1, Silver Modern Skin, Explorer View

      Thanks!

          I tired dragging and dropping and also right clicking on the folder and hitting extract. Both failed.
