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
Disable "Extract to" Submenu

Hello
How can I disable the “Extract to” Submenu in the Shell-Extension of PA2010 Beta2?
Regards
Sabine -
once you are in your configurations screen you can click on the ‘Shell Extensions’ and from there you can remove any of the options in the right hand column Sabine…just highlight the option you want to remove and click on ‘Remove’.

I want to keep “Extract Archive to”, but without the Submenu.
PA2010 Beta2:
There is no Submenu in PA2009:
Regards
Sabine -
The “menu” is because PA is saving previously used folders so that you don’t need to search for the same folder each time.
I don’t think this can be disabled.
However, if you activate the “default extract location” folder, that could appear as a seperate shell option (e.g. “extract here”). Would that be what you want?
-
to use them without the submenu just remove them from the right hand column using ‘Remove’ and then use ‘Add’ and NOT ‘Add Submenu’
or am I on the wrong path here?…lol

nope, thats correct :-).
-
actuall no, since there is MRU, there has to be submenu for MRU folders…
-
you can not remove MRU folders right now.

Yes, you are wrong ;) . As TBGBe said, PA2010 is saving previously used Folders and the Submenu can’t be removed in the Settings.
@TBGBe:However, if you activate the “default extract location” folder, that could appear as a seperate shell option (e.g. “extract here”). Would that be what you want?
No, this is not what I want. Maybe the Developers can add an Option in the Settings to disable the Submenu and previously used Folders?!
Thanks @TBGBe and moles42 for your Reply.
