    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.

      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!

          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)

              control we use has an issue with this, so we are waiting for an fix… right now up/down is only way to change it.

                Thanks - good to know. Hopefully that fix will get here sooner rather than later.
