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

i got a folder named COMPRESS
i got *.xls and *.doc files in there
how can i make just compress xls and doc extensions in their separated file names with One click to a folder?
do i have to make subfolders for this operation to batchzip?file name samples:
dailybackup09062009.xls
dailybackup09062009.doc
dailybackup09072009.xls
dailybackup09072009.doci want this at the end of compressing: (xls and doc files in it)
dailybackup09062009.zip
dailybackup09072009.ziphow can i compress these files with xls & docs in their separated filenames
please help -
Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by “One click to a folder” as PACL is a command line utility ?
@yeappa:file name samples:
dailybackup09062009.xls
dailybackup09062009.doc
dailybackup09072009.xls
dailybackup09072009.doci want this at the end of compressing: (xls and doc files in it)
dailybackup09062009.zip
dailybackup09072009.ziphow can i compress these files with xls & docs in their separated filenames please help
For this there are two options (I think)
a) use the option “sep” will give you
dailybackup09062009.xls.zip
dailybackup09062009.doc.zip
dailybackup09072009.xls.zip
dailybackup09072009.doc.zipb) If your files are named as stated then you could create a DOS batch file/command something like
For %%I in *.doc do
pacomp -a %%~nI.zip %%~nI.doc %%~nI.xlsThis results in dailybackup09072009.zip
containing dailybackup09072009.doc and dailybackup09072009.xlsCheck the actual syntax for your version of Windows with “HELP FOR”

i mean, i right-click to a folder files in it then voila.

dailybackup09062009.zip files to their own
dailybackup09072009.zip files to their own archives (xls and doc extensions) in it.how can i ?
i couldnt make it with Winrar :( -

I think this is in the wrong forum, you seem to be asking about PowerArchiver and not PACL.
@yeappa:i want program to automaticly select *.xls and *.doc and archive them separated by their unique file names.
dailybackup09062009.zip files to their own
dailybackup09072009.zip files to their own archives (xls and doc extensions) in it.If you have a folder named “Compress” containing files with both doc and xls extensions (and no other files), then your options from PA (or explorer shell) are
a) create a single archive (compress.zip) containing all files
b) create seperate archive for each file in the folder using the “batch” optionCreating seperate archives based on matching filenames (but different extensions) is not possible.
If I understand your requirement you will have to create a Backup Script using PowerArchiver - but don’t create a new doc and xls each day, just update them and then run the script daily and backup to an archive named using the date.
