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
Solved Incorrect dialogs with text size 125%

Most of the dialogs in Power Archiver do not display well when larger text is selected in display properties in Windows 10. The example I have uploaded is usable; but in some others you can only see the top border of the buttons. Please fix!

afte selecting 125% DPI, did you sign out/restart?
As it is required by some apps, such as PowerArchiver, in order for the DPI setting to be applied.Here is the windows notice which mentiones the same;
Also, we tested the mentioned dialog and other PowerArchiver windows in 125DPI mode which seemed to look fine. Here is a screenshot of the same dialog in 125DPI in our tests;
Please try signing out and signing back in, does that help?

thanks for letting us know, we will take a look and log the 125DPI issues for fixing.
We appreciate it! -
Actually the problem can be worked around by disabling display scaling in Explorer / Properties / Compatibility. Sorry, I should have tried that earlier. But if that is the solution it would be better if you added this in the manifest.

@mili No need to sign out, because my system has always been at 125% since the day when I first installed Windows 10. First thing I do on a new OS!

so what setting do you have it on now? It works fine on all our systems, we all use at least 125 dpi.
Is this on PA 2017?
