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 Dark skin = Ugly icon

Screenshot should be self explanatory. That icon when you test an archive isn’t very pretty looking, not a problem with light skins though.

maybe your popup blocker closes the page that starts the download? Copy and paste url into browser directly, and it should work fine (and fast). Thanks!

Strange indeed…Opera browser refused to acknowledge it as an actual link to a file…
I had to use Microsoft Edge browser to download it successfully…

maybe because it is http vs https? https would be:

Yep that link works with IDM !

Even stranger is the fact that the link refused to work in ‘Opera Final’ version but works perfectly in ‘Opera Developer’…
somebody over there needs to get their act together methinks !
