    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.

      does anyone else suffer from intermittent flickering of drop down menus when using certain areas of PA ?
      in particular these windows as seen in screenshot.

      I’ve only started noticing it since installing Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and wondered if other users have encountered it.
      the menu opens but flickers about 3 or 4 times before stabilizing…
      PA/W7 or Graphics Card I wonder ?

      I don’t recall ever having this problem in Vista 32bit.

      Windows 10 Pro x64
      Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 @ 3.00GHz
      4.00GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 399MHz

        Don’t see it myself moles42, but I am using Vista not Win7, so that tells you nothing. ;)

        Is it worth checking for an updated graphics driver or are you up to date on that one?

          I’m using latest drivers for my card…a process of elimination I guess…PA/Windows 7 or my card.
          strange thing is it doesn’t happen on any other software I’m using with drop down menus.

                just noticed it myself… 11.61.01 improved ribbon already (proper font color, better window border in non themed vista/win7)

                  Hey moles42, I noticed something similar here, in that the menu flickers, but only once, before stabilizing. Sorry I’m a bit slow with the updates, but I am still recovering from my “Twitter” affliction. :D :rolleyes:

                    Quick update. Flickers once on the laptop and twice on the desktop.

                                  guess we just have to live with it then…:)
                                  it’s not like it’s a life threatening ordeal I guess…;)
