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 "Preview" window gets lost when I try to move it
-
I just installed PA 2017 (17.00.92) and the preview window seems to default to showing up as a narrow column on the left side. When I try to move it to the bottom of the app window it disappears. I can only get it back by closing/reopening the program.
Actually, it disappears if I try to move it to any of the locations on the application edge.
I can move it to the left or right side of the pane where the contents of the archive are displayed. For some reason the top/bottom of that pane aren’t enabled for me to drop the preview window on - only the left & right side.
Running on Win 7 SP1 x64.

@mwb1100 said in "Preview" window gets lost when I try to move it:
The problem still shows in the 17.01.04. Did the fix just not make this release, or by next major version do you mean 18.0.xx?
Thans for checking up!
We:
a. fixed it so you cant move it to the bottom BUT it requires reset of settings or new install.
b. made sure upcoming PA 2018 alpha/beta has this working right - preview works fine at the bottom.

@mwb1100 we had some problems with moving these to bottom due to the number of new panels possible with explorer mode on, it simply goes crazy when more than 3-4 panels are possible. For next major version we are going to solve this.
Thanks!
