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
Not Sure Who's Bug This Is….

Hmmm…… Lzh archives made by P.A. register as corrupt in Winrar. Those made by IZarc and Bitzipper do not. However, I can still open the Lzh archive in any application and it seems to be fine. This may or may not be a PA problem. Just thought I’d let you know…
-
We use the latest lha module from ziptv, while WinRar uses older one which has some issues (which were in 9.1 previously), I am not sure if it is associated with that, but it seems likely.
We could check it out more for 9.2, but as long as it works…
thanks,

If I create a .lzh archive in P.A. and convert it with P.A to .bh (my favorite, if you haven’t guessed by now) the .bh file is always corrupt. I have tried it with several different sets of files. :confused:

Hi,
are you converting new file or already existing archive? Since if I simply create new lzh file and then convert it to bh, it works fine…

Spwolf: Try these two archives. The first one is an .lzh created by P.A. The second one is the .lzh converted to .bh by P.A. The original .lzh tests O.K. in P.A. but corrupt in Winrar.
The .bh archive tests as corrupt according to P.A., even thought it was converted by P.A. from a .lzh that P.A. created and said was O.K. Am I making sense? :rolleyes:

Got it. It has to be something with converter itself since if you simply extract that archive and compress it again, it creates correct bh file (which is what Converter is doing!).
We will check it out.
thanks,
