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
PA 2.02 removing images from e-mails.

Hello,
I am using PA for Outlook, version 2.02. When I embed a picture into a message body and then send the message, the picture is removed from the e-mail, just a blank space remains. This never happened before I installed PA nor it happens now when I uninstalled it. Anyway, I would like to use it as I find it very useful. Any ideas?
Thanks. Miro

Hi Miro,
what images specifically? Let us know of their extension.
Also, are images getting compressed into zip file or?
thanks,

For example screenshots created by PrtScn button and pasted directly into the message body (so there is no extension). I am talking about images that are inserted directly into the message body, not as attachments, so they do not get compressed.
Some more info: I am using Vista SP1 + MS Outlook 2007 SP1.

p.s. thanks for the info. It has been entered in our bug list and will be looked at in few weeks, when we get enough time to turn our attention away from more pressing matters :-).
thanks!

Hi,
we tried to reproduce this and we could not.
Maybe it is due to specific setting.Can you please export to reg HKCU\Software\PAOutlook registry key, via reg edit, then compress it to zip and send it to our support address (first via form and then reply to email that you get).
That will definetly help us a lot. And if you could do it relativly fast, we can have solution almost as fast :-).
thank you!

Strange, I can’t reproduce it again. I had uninstalled PAO when this problem started to occur and installed it again after your request to export the settings so maybe the reinstallation helped to solve it? Or maybe I use different settings now? I don’t know, maybe the problem will appear again. Anyway, I have sent you the registry settings via support form, hope it helps.
Thanks a lot!

it wont help if it works now :-).
I will try with different settings to see if it could be reproduced. If not, when it starts doing it again, let us know and send us those settings.
thanks!

Well, the problem continues… Today, with exactly the setting I have sent you, another picture was removed, so I had to uninstall it again.
-
did you do anything different? how did you add the picture? We tried both inserting and pasting?
-
also, do you have any other plugins installed?
-
We got it now… it is probably due to removal of all of the default filters. We are checking it out.
thanks,
-
I have Adobe PDF, Adobe Contribute and Send to Bluetooth plugins installed.

I have the same problem (PAOP v2.02).
I use SnagIt to send a screen dump as email.Before sending, the emails looks ok, afterwards the picture is gone. I use HTML email’s.
Same thing happens when I past the image form the clipboard.
As attachment (image) my registry dump.

we fixed this issue in upcoming release, we need to test it out and then release it…
thanks,
