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 PA2019 build 30 Backup Trial Message

Alright my first bug report for PA2019 and I’m not happy at all given how close the final release is suppose to be but here goes…
Right click on PBS file (sounds like a prescription my doctor gave me) choose Open and instead of starting the Backup I get a useless outdated message. Clicking Close button allows me to proceed.
BTW, I’m registered using a “offline code” there was NO “online code” to use!

Hi @ckit
the only way we could reproduce this is when registering PA with a code that does not include the codec pack.
I have sent you the complete 2019 email, with the license I had made sure that it contains the codec pack.
Could you please register again, online or offline, and try again.
With a code (offline or online), I was not able to reproduce the issue at all, seems like a registration code issue.Thanks!

)what happens when you run pabackup.exe directly from your PA install folder? Same error message? Does main PA about window show as registered toolbox?
thanks!

No, that acts fine. No error message, only happens with PBS profiles
Does main PA about window show as registered toolbox?
Shows licensed to me, as to the exact edition that’s nowhere to be seen!
thanks!

It should show on caption in PA Window:
@Mili will have fun with this one. You can compress to .pa right? Just making sure licensing is fine, as it should be as you have all the latest licenses. Thanks!

Mines the same as yours, PowerArchiver 2019 (64-bit) Toolbox, I miss the traditional About dialog box
I’ll create a new 2019 PBS file soon and try that, this one was created with PA 2018
I was compressing to PA yes but planning to change to ZIP with “store only” to speed things up. I’ll stick with PA compression for now until this is sorted -

Can you send pbs script to support at conexware so @Mili can take a look? Thanks.
I wrote in a ticket about adding classic about box link there few minutes ago…

Thanks @Mili registering again with the online method seems to have worked!
