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.
Skin interface very bad glitch.

PA 10.20 RC1
Changing skins caused this mess in screenshot 1
The cause was changing from modern silver to classic (My PA) back to modern silver. Then changed to classic (Longhorn) then back to modern silver. This left me with a combination of modern for the main window and classic in the configuration window.
Shut down PA hoping it would sort itself out but no luck. Now main window is a combination of Modern and Classic, in this case (My PA). See screenshot 2
Restarted computer but this will not go away.
Thank goodness I took a snapshot of my HD before I installed.

Thought that these attached pics would show one under the other. :confused:

When using Skins, Modern interface should be disabled, so from 10.20.07 when changing from Classic+Skins to Modern, Skins will be disabled.
