<![CDATA[IMF Files and Drag & Drop Interface]]>How do you stop PA from automatically opening up the drag and drop interface? The only way I can open a .IMF file is to full open PA and then tell it to open the file. It then displays the contents and will extract it. I do this quite often, it’s a headache. If I could just do file/open archive with PA on right click without having it automatically open the drag and drop to add files, life would be great.

this will solve problems when pa can’t recognise a format as it seems pa uses the . ext to recognise formats unlike its freeware days when it could detect a format that had the wrong extesion. oh well with progress you loose good features

maybe you activated some option, like Config> Misc> Show open archive on PA startup.

I bet that is it :-)

Yeppers, that was it, thank-you! Things are working really well now. :)

You can now open IMF files properly by right click> open with> PowerArchiver, in RC2…

It’s working, thank-you! Well, it’s working for the .imf files. But, any time I just want to open it up by clicking on the PA icon, it auto pops up an Open Archive menu. Is there a way to turn that off. I don’t always want to open and archive.

With version schedules, sometimes fixes might take months. Hopefully we solved that with our new patchbeam system so we can deliver more updates over the same time.

well since we are just doing 11.70 very soon, this seems like it could make it in… so within 10 days or so… it is simple fix really, PA doesnt understand it is an cab file so it tries to create new archive…

thanks for reporting it!

Phew, I can hardly wait! :)

yeah, thats an bug…

grins That doesn’t do me much good. I’ve got 3 different archivers, and I really only want 1 of them installed, and preference is Power Archiver. When can we expect an update patch?

are these zip files or?

.imf files are compressed files for IncrediMail, they are made from .cab files. I can extract them with PA if I open PA first. If I just try to right mouse click and say open with PA, like you can with WinZip, it brings up the drag and drop window to add files for compression, which is totally wrong.
