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

Hi,
In the past few versions on the fast track, when a file in an archive is selected, its details disappear - please see attached screenshot.
Hope this helps.

disable color coded file list at the bottom left in status bar, first button.

p.s. if you notice it turning on again, let me know. We will fix the colors on Win7 if there is a problem there. Works on Win8/10 seemingly fine.

Thanks, that did it. I was playing around a few days ago and could have clicked on that button. It is not very clear on the interface whether this option is disabled or not. I think the bubble help should change to indicate the status of the option and also the colour difference between the two states should be more marked. Throughout the interface, the only indication that an option is active/a button has been clicked is a very light grey, which does not stand out at all. In some places it is lighter than others.
