    PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives
    W

    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.

      Just a heads up, if you print your email containing your PA 2016 registration details to a PDF, open it in PDF XChange Editor and then copy and paste into PA 2016 it will Fail everytime!!!

      It has to be done from your browser or some other PDF reader

      Update:
      I’m using a clipboard manager called Ditto in the background which may also be interfering.

        it is just a text email - there is nothing fancy about it, pdf editor is likely doing something wrong when it creates PDF.
