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.
Virus scan parameters?
-
Hello,
I’d like to know what variable there are (if any) for use in the “Parameters:” field for PA’s virus scanner feature. I’d like to use ClamWin as an extra security option, but it needs to know the full path of the file to be scanned, but PA’s help (at least the version I read, which is in Portuguese) doesn’t provide a list of variables, so it doesn’t work.
Thanks!
