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
Please Re-Enable "Show Images" on PA Forums
-
I have “Show Images” enabled in my Forum Control Panel Options, but yet images are not displayed.
I assume this feature has been disabled by thge PA forum mods. Please can you re-enable this feature.
-
They are not enabled because for users with slower connections pages will load too slow.
thanks,

I understand that, but there is no need to disable from an Administrator level since each user can enable or disableit in Control Panel Options.
Please can you re-enable this feature at the Admin level.

deipotent is right.
images should be enabled -
problem is that I can either enable it for all or disable it for all, hence it will be disabled so most people can surf the boards properly.
thanks,

You’re missing the point. There are two settings - the Admins (ie. yours), and the users (accessed from the “User Control Panel” link at the top of the forum).
If you (ie. the Admin) set it to SHOW images, and the user has set it to NOT SHOW images in the forum Users Control Panel, then images WILL NOT be shown.
If you (ie. the Admin) set it to SHOW images, and the user has set it to SHOW images in the forum Users Control Panel, then images WILL be shown.
If you (ie. the Admin) set it to NOT SHOW images, and the user has set it to NOT SHOW images in the forum Users Control Panel, then images WILL NOT be shown.
If you (ie. the Admin) set it to NOT SHOW images, and the user has set it to SHOW images in the forum Users Control Panel, then images WILL NOT be shown.
As illustrated by my examples, even if you enable it at the Admin level, then individual users can still choose to NOT show images by setting this option in their Users control Panel.
It works OK on www.wilderssecurity.com which uses the same forum software (ie. vBulletin).
Please enable this option.
