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
Menu Bar is disabled!

If I click the name to select a zip file, then double click the file name to open it, menu bar will be disabled.
Is it a bug?

This is using Explorer View and yes, I believe it is a bug.
Especially as the Menu remains disabled (greyed out) when you close the Zip archive (e.g. by pressing BackSpace).[Edit] The menu bar is not disabled when Zip is opened in Classic View.

ok, I noticed this once but I could have never find it - can you please explain how exactly you get there?
thanks!!!

Start PA (from Start Button) and switch to Explorer View if not already active ;-)
Explorer pane shows (some starting) folder.
Navigate to Programs\PowerArchiver and single click (select) Tutor1.zip.
Now double click Tutor1.zip.
Explorer pane shows Tutor1.zip, PA archive pane shows contents.Menu Bar (File, Edit, View …) is disabled - greyed out.
Press BackSpace to close Tutor1.zip
Menu Bar (File, Edit, View …) is still greyed out.
Also, Explorer pane again shows (some starting) folder, not the expected Programs\PowerArchiver directory. -
Also noticed that when navigating folders, if double clicking to open directory sometimes activates the [folder rename] option rather than opening it.
In this case the menu bar is disabled until renaming is finished.
Could there be a similarity? -

Could there be a similarity?Thanks - will check it out. Kind of funny - it is easy to reproduce but I tried gazillion different things before and couldnt get it to show itself :-)
thanks again
