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
Website problem

you do not mention on download page of virtual drive which is confusing as you mention it on the site. A friend only found it by trying the command for it (had to download and install it) . which he expected was installed when he installed pa which was not. There should be a mention that you have to download virtual drive to use it.

once you try to use it, it downloads it for you. I dont think it can be any simpler than that.

basically that happens but what i was saying was that it should mention that as it is an ad-on that has to be installed once you try to use it. This was not made clear on the website and once i installed the program on a non internet pc, i had to wait till i arrived home to use it/ get it. Very embarrasing when your trying to promote the product.

once PA 2009 is final and 2009 website is up, it will mention that… right now it is one page on the website, and even then, trying to use the option once makes it self explanatory…
thanks…

thanks though it would be nice to have it as a download so i can use it on my laptop that doesn’t have internet

PA downloads the file to your download folder, so you can certainly transfer it where you want…
thanks
