Compressing to rar

[yoniy0]

say, do you guys plan to incorporate rar compression into PA? that seems like a peculiar weakness in what is otherwise (now with PA2010) a very good bundle

Not likely (restrictive licensing).

Must be that time of year again.

Well, Shoo. In my defence, a search of the forum for “rar” comes up empty for me (still does, though, so I should have suspected something I guess)….

Yeah, I think you need advanced search for historical threads :p

Most forum searches completely ignore terms less than 4 characters. By itself this is quite annoying; that they usually do it silently is downright maddening (why isn’t that considered a bug?).

Hmmm, I get error message about security token when I try. :eek:
It used to be allowed on PowerArchiver forums (as almost all compression format names are three letters) - maybe that was changed/removed by a recent update

I get the security token error message whenever I try to ‘simple’ search from the drop down, and have for a long, long time. Advanced search works fine for me.

I know the error message says to infomrm the admin, but I’m lazy and figured that it was just something funky in my setup (otherwise the admin would be getting innundated with reports from more dilligent users).
