    PA 21.00.18 Action / Test behaves oddly for me on .PA files
    Brian GregoryB

    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.

    Convert archive is incorrect for some WinRAR 5 archives
    W

    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.

    Please make PA betaversions public

          Where were you guys? The beta versions were made open to everyone and they asked for user feedback.

                  Well, my guesses would be similar to what happened before:

                  “Public” Alpha Testing is only for major changes so next Alpha testing for PA 10 (maybe 9.5?) - as with change from 8.8 to 9.0

                  Beta’s have released for testing via these forums - maybe for intermediate versions e.g. 9.1 / 9.2 etc? This also happened for 9.0 a few weeks before the forums were reworked.

                  Basically, when there has been a new feature/changed feature that needs more than normal Q.A. testing.

                  In other words “Be patient”, let’s enjoy what we have and let 9.0 settle down first.

                    TBGBe is correct. They just finished a major new version which under went tons of alpha testing and several weeks of beta testing. I think the programmers should get at least week off for a short vacation before they have to start the next release. :D

                            heh yes. Alpha test has been done for more than 3 months on 9.0, with 3 weeks of completly public beta testing, via forums/update/web site.

                            Basically, as soon as we add major features to next major version of PA, alpha testing starts and alpha testers are able to witness great change from ugly duckling to the beautiful new release…. Then when we finish up with everything, and everything is ready for final release - we do extra few weeks of beta testing.

                            As you all know, you are able to sign up to become alpha testers so you will be able to do some, once we start doing alpha testing.
