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 18.00.46, the most minor bug possible

Hi,
I have noticed that when I load PA, even without an archi9ve, the progress bar on the lower right is half full. If an archive is loaded, the bar gets a little larger, but the green filled-in bit stays the same size.

@drteeth hah :)
It is action indicator… green means PA is not busy and red means it is working :).
Since 2001 I think.In my defense, it had changed from round to square ;-).

it was new design, to match rest of the interface but also to hid a bug in status bar where sides are not transparent :)
So it is actually ok? Just making sure.

@drteeth screenshot? Thanks!

Hi spwolf,
Here they are. It occurred to me that the green square in the lower right is some sort of colour indicator and not a progress bar.

@drteeth so when is it half full? Can we find that situation? It would mean that the image is half hidden basically, since it has only two states - green and red.

When a file is loaded, it looks to me as if the space to the right of the green indicator increases. That is all I see. Sorry for any confusion.
Cheers and have a great weekend,
