    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.

      In PowerArchiver 2010 the extracted Folders of an archive have the actual date of the extraction as the modification date as seen in windows explorer and not the original modification date of the folder.

      PowerArchiver 2009 did extract the folders with the original modification date of the folders.

          Are you sure about this? I didn’t think that original timestamp information for folders existed in the Zip format. Actually, I thought that there was no information about folders stored in the Zip archive except whatever can be inferred from the paths from all the file names in the archive.

            Maybe I should mention that I mean RAR files.

            And yes, I’m sure about this. For example if you have a folder with modification date from a week ago an create a RAR file. When extracting the archive, the folder has the actual date and time of extraction as modification date and not the modification date from a week ago.

              Ah - I keep forgetting there’s something besides .zip files (and .pae).

                  It seems that version 11.60.08 has still this “problem”.
