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
Question for everyone
-
if i took a snapshot of an archive i.e its binary or something along thoese lines could i recreate the archive exactly, using this data
-
if you took an copy of archive, then of course you would have copy of archive.
-
what i was trying to say if you took a snapshot of the binary code to that archive could you recreate the archive as it
-
a snapshot of the binary code to that archive
What is a “snapshot of the binary code” if it’s something different than a copy?
-
basically ever program is made up of binary code in essence if you recreate that code you can recreate for instance an archive. Im asking is it possible to take a snap shot of a powerarchive archive from a snapshot rather than having to have copy of the original archive
-
what you are describing is another name to call an copy of archive
-
if you have snapshot/copy of binary code of file, and that file is an archive, then you have copy of archive.
:-)
