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.
Unsolved Minor UI question
-
Is PA 2019 supposed to have red shell extension icons, or is it still yellow for versions released to the general public?
I have version 19.00.57 installed.
-
I asked the same question myself once.
It’s because you have the beta version, they will be yellow in the final version. -
But isn’t PowerArchiver 2019 19.00.57 final? The website doesn’t tell anything about “Beta”…
-
@spwolf is the best person to ask about that.
But if there’s still small bugs to be fixed I wouldn’t say it’s the final build just yet. -
IMHO there is still large bugs to be fixed.

logged in to bring them back to the yellow icons, thanks @skypx !
