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
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.
