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
UNSOLVED PA 2017 and PGP Keys
-
Awhile ago I submitted some bug reports on how PA handled PGP keys. More specifically how it it didn’t display the full name associated with the PGP key. It was not a huge bug but still a bug that was supposed to be addressed in a future build. I was wondering if PA 2017 finally fixed this bug?
-
hi bigdog!
To double check, are you referring to the displayed name when imported into Kleopatra?
Thanks!
-
I think it is from when PA imports it from Kleopatra. It only shows the first name and not the full name that is actually part of the key. I’m not sure why it truncates it like that as the full name is part of the key and everything else shows the full key info.
-
I’m guessing not fixed in PA2017?

Hi,
We have it logged in and the dev team will take a look at it eventually, as we are finshing a few more things to PA 2017 ready. Thanks for letting us know!

I know it is not a major bug but one that has existed for well over a year so hope it will get resolved at some point soon. Any ideas as to when PA 2017 will be available?
