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 Taskbar icon not moving
-
I just noticed that PA icon in taskbar is not moving across monitors. I mean, I have set my taskbar to show the active applications on this monitor. If I take Notepad, or even my FileOptimizer window, and move it across monitors, I see the taskbar icon moving too.
With PA, it seems to be sticked on the main monitor taskbar. No matter, if I move the window to a different monitor.

Hope you are able to reproduce it too @spwolf
-
@nikkho can you check with latest PA alpha you have? Thanks.
-
I am sorry, but taskbar icon is not yet moving when dragging main PA window across screens. Neither with 18.00.02.
-
@nikkho thanks a lot! I have hoped this is related to one of the bug fixes fixed under “multi-monitor” for 10.2.1.

I have logged this in the support portal PA-581. Currently, the issue hasn’t been fixed yet.
