End of Powerarchiver

[Integer]

I just wanted to mention that support for compression to rar doesn’t work properly. When I compress a directory, in the archive I get the content of this directory. This is especially annoying when I compress several directories or files and directories - then I get the content of that directories mixed together.

The problem occurs in versions 15.04.03 and 16.00.46.

Did you try 16.00.51?

Should be up in few minutes. Various fixes/improvements.

I tryed it a moment ago. Unfortunately, there is the same problem. It seems to me that PowerArchiver passes wrong parameters to rar.exe.
It’s something like:
rar.exe a -y -r0 -m4 -ep1 name.rar “C:\…\Test\DirectoryName”
Should be:
rar.exe a -y -r0 -m4 -ep1 name.rar “C:…\Test\DirectoryName”

Without “” symbol at the end.

Latest release:

This should be fixed now. We had to call rar.exe from root/base folder of desired path so we could get proper relative paths stored for multiple folders (previously -ep1 was used to get same effect but it didnt work with multiple folders)… Thanks!

Works like a charm :) Good job.
