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
Problem opening
-
Unfortunately, I cannot give you much information here. But the last 3-4 days I have suddenly had trouble opening a number of different archives.
I do not know if the archives are corrupted or if PA has a glitch. But this has happened a number of times now, and it is very disconcerting. I am losing data right and left.
-
can you send us one of these files as a sample?
-
this has been fixed in 14.01.06 - issue with dropbox files where first file in a archive was /.
-
The upgrade has not fixed the problem with reading zIps created via Dropbox.
Still sits there churning saying “Reading folder.”
-
Unfortunately not. Just posted.
-
hm, i tested against file you sent us over - chapters.zip, all works fine?
-
Apologies.
I thought I had updated. It was a bit slow, so I must have hit the cancel button.
Stupid me.
-
most important part - it works?
-
Yes.
Question. Is AC down?
I did have trouble a few days ago; then it worked fine.
Now I am wondering if, when down, I screwed up my PW.
Or if it is down again?
BTW, it is only AC; I can connect to dropbox and google drive without a hitch.
-
try it now, should work….
-
THAT did it.
Moreover, thanks for adding the ability to delete files from the AC.
