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

Well…
1)“automatic” uses the size of the destination drive so can only be for removable drives.- When you want 99MB you should enter 99000 as the volume size is entered in kBytes - you cannot enter units such as MB, GB etc
-
it tells me the same thing
“Error in custom sizes for zip volume”
-
So in the “Size” box you only typed
99000
but still get the message :confused:
What version of PowerArchiver (see Help/About)? -
what version of PA are you using? I tried with 10.11 and it works just fine.
thanks,

No, if that was so - all files would have the same filename :eek:
Spanned archives will have filenames
xx.zip
xx.z01
xx.z02
xx.z03 etcThis is described in help file.
