    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.

      Hi,

      I’m using the new PowerArchiver 2017 release 17.00.90 on Windows 10 (x86) and have some problems, setting up the program window:

      • Unselecting the option “Show Button Text” in the toolbar is not persistent, if I close PowerArchiver and open it again, the Text will be shown again
      • Also, if I deselect “Show Button Text”, it’s still shown in the Backup view, if I tick or untick this option in the backup view, it has simply no effect in this view! I’ve already reported this here
      • I’ve dragged the “Preview Window” from the right side and dropped it on the bottom, so that it should be displayed on bottom of folder tree and files view. But it isn’t shown at all anymore, while the toolbar button shows, it’s still active. This is session persistent.
      • There seem to be no classic icons for “Encode” and “Repair ZIP”, but only Windows 10 style icons

                I can confirm, that 1,2 and 4 are fixed :)
                But I still can’t drag the preview windows to the bottom.

                  @bigmike we had to disable drag to the bottom, now we have regular windows there (ftp, cmd) due to problems we had with resizing with too many panels… hopefully in PA 2018 and new panels we will make it work again.

                    @spwolf So maybe it would be a good idea to disable the possibility to drag the preview to the bottom. As it is now, the preview pane simply disappears and I have to delete the registry key to reset the display options to get it back.
