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.
Outlook Plugin Annoyance
-
Hey Guys,
I’ve installed the most recent version of the Outlook Plugin (Running Office 2007, PA 10.2) and when I go to specify the minimum file size to compress I had to use the up/down arrows and couldn’t input the file size into the box. I had to hold the up arrow for a really long time b/c I wanted something around 10MB…a fix on this may be nice
Thanks! -
Works fine using windows XP Pro Outlook 2000 “yer i know its old” I am able to select manual or type in the file size needed by clicking in the box.
bdschuil, What OS are you using?
-
Yes you can enter the value … but close the Options screen and then re-open it - the new value has been reset to the previous value [OutLook 2003 SP2].
This was reported in BETA testing but seems to have re-appeared in the release version (2.00.11)

Windows XP Pro SP2
