    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!

      Using Powerarchiver 2007 (10.11.01) when extracting files from a .gz archive the modify date changes to 14 june 2058 (which is obviously isn’t :)

      Do you know a solution to this problem?

      regards,

      Timo Beil

          Hello!

          It happens to serveral .gz archive files made with gzip. Although the modify date is not always the same,it always is incorrect. The dates range from 1 november 2007, 14 january 2014 and 26 movember 2058.

              This is an example of a GZ file which has the problems.
              In the acrive the modify date is 16-04-2007, when extracted the date is 16-08-2014

              Thanks for checking it out!

                    The issue should be fixed in 10.20 Beta 3.
