DiskDir Extended

[Postkutscher]

That's what I did but I know other people might not find it and complain

You are right


TrePe
Just reportet on the russian forum and retested by me:
Plugin shows cyrillic names in unreadable enconding for the files within iso-images.
I must say, that v. 1.55 under TC7.04a behaves the same way, I have simply not noticed it before.
And could you please clarify a bit configuration of the new version?

Thanks for adding UseCanHandleThisFileForWCXsExtensions feature!

But I need to understand the reason of following. I set to check if EXE may be expanded as archive (UseCanHandleThisFileForWCXsExtensions=exe) and add to DIR archive folder with: just files, CAB-archives, installations, 7Z-SFX-archives, CAB-SFX-archives, ZIP-SFX-archive. But unfortunately plugin expands only contents of 7Z-SFX, CAB-SFX and ZIP-SFX archive adds as just a file. Is it because I have only external plugin for 7Z while CAB and ZIP files TC handles internally? But my InnoSetup installers also added as files despite I have external plugin for it (via Multiarc).

Also I pack 7Z file and DIR file into archive, both added as files instead of archives.

Also I have one 7Z archive, after packing it into DIR (archive or it archive with SFX stub) I see all files as folders but with size and attributes set. I'll try to check out which archives are being added so. Strange thing, recreating of archive fixed situation (old 7Z specification?). Both archives I may browse and unpack, but when I add both to DIR archive, one is added correctly and other in described above way - all files as directories. Seems that my 7Z plugin says that they are directories? But why TC see right contents?

Version 1.65 and 1.60 act in similar way in all described cases (UseCanHandleThisFileForWCXs=yes).

Very useful plugin. TrePe, thanks.

Yes, DiskDir Extended issue with Cyrillic names in unreadable encoding for files within iso-images is really big problem.
Interesting that iso plugin 1.7.6 works fine in this situation. But DiskDir Extended doesn't let specify priorities of WCX plugins over DiskDir Extended built-in listing methods.

Now "Compare Directories" doesn't work with listed archives. Because DiskDir Extended represents archives by folders. So user have to compare hundreds of files<>folders by his own eyes:

Code: Select all

file: Archive1.7z ## 2 413 879 560 bytes ## 2009.3.16 ## 15:27.26 << and >> folder: Archive1.7z\ ## 2 413 879 560 bytes ## 2009.3.16 ## 15:27.26
file: Archive2.rar ## 713 879 561 bytes ## 2008.3.17 ## 12:22.01 << and >> folder: Archive2.rar\ ## 713 879 561 bytes ## 2008.3.17 ## 12:22.01
file: Archive3.sqx ## 51 413 990 bytes ## 2009.1.12 ## 15:17.16 << and >> folder: Archive3.sqx\ ## 51 413 990 bytes ## 2009.1.12 ## 15:17.16
...
...
file: ArchiveN.zip ## 12 773 879 001 bytes ## 2005.3.25 ## 22:29.56 << and >> folder: ArchiveN.zip\ ## 12 773 879 001 bytes ## 2005.3.25 ## 22:29.56

TrePe, (to fix this problem) please add next options:

1. List only archives - list files only from enabled in options archives, exclude (don't list) all other files and files from not enabled in options archives.
   E.g. from:

   Code: Select all

   TheDisc\
   archive.7z
   archive.rar
   archive.zip
   file.dat
   file.ext
   folder1\
   foldier1content.ext
   folder2\
   folder2content.ext
   

   if only 7z and rar are enabled in options - crate TheDisc.lst with:

   Code: Select all

   PathToTheDisc\
   archive.7z\
   7zArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   archive.rar\
   RarArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   

   This option let user quickly crate separated ".lst" (to/and don't waste main ".lst" by archives listings).
2. List together archives' files (itself) and their content (at the same time)
   Example of TheDisc.lst (from "TheDisc\" from above):

   Code: Select all

   PathToTheDisc\
   archive.7z
   archive.rar
   archive.zip
   file.dat
   file.ext
   archive.7z\
   7zArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   archive.rar\
   RarArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   folder1\
   folder1content.ext
   folder2\
   folder2content.ext
   

   This option let user use "Compare Directories" (and browse content of archives in/from single ".lst").
3. Prefix for archives with listed content - prefix for folders that represent archives;
   if Prefix = "Arc_" then TheDisc.lst:

   Code: Select all

   PathToTheDisc\
   archive.7z
   archive.rar
   archive.zip
   file.dat
   file.ext
   Arc_archive.7z\
   7zArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   Arc_archive.rar\
   RarArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   folder1\
   folder1content.ext
   folder2\
   folder2content.ext
   

   This option will help user distinguish folders from archives represented by folders.
4. Folder for archives with listed content - folder (name) in which should be placed folders that represent archives;
   if ArchivesFolder = "!Arcs!" then TheDisc.lst:

   Code: Select all

   PathToTheDisc\
   archive.7z
   archive.rar
   archive.zip
   file.dat
   file.ext
   foldier1\
   foldier1content.ext
   foldier2\
   foldier2content.ext
   !Arcs!\archive.7z\
   7zArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   !Arcs!\archive.rar\
   RarArchiveContent.ext
   etc.ext
   

   This option let separate archives represented by folders from regular folders.

DiskDir Extended doesn't work with WCX plugins that registered with environment variable

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%

in

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]

section of wincmd.ini.
E.g.:

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]
multiarc=223,%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Multiarc\MultiArc.wcx
7z=79,%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Multiarc\MultiArc.wcx
sqx=607,%COMMANDER_PATH%\plugins\wcx\Total SQX\TotalSQX.wcx

DiskDir Extended works only with WCX plugins that registered with full file names, including the complete path:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\totalcmd

instead of

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%

E.g.:

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]
multiarc=223,C:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wcx\Multiarc\MultiArc.wcx
7z=79,C:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wcx\Multiarc\MultiArc.wcx
sqx=607,C:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wcx\Total SQX\TotalSQX.wcx

Is environment variable

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%

incompatible with DiskDir Extended?

[alva]

DiskDir Extended doesn't work with WCX plugins that registered with upper case (of letters) in

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]

section of wincmd.ini.
E.g.:

Code: Select all

[PackerPlugins]
MultiArc=223,C:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wcx\Multiarc\MultiArc.wcx
IShield=68,C:\Program Files\totalcmd\plugins\wcx\IShield\IShield.wcx

DiskDir Extended ignore these WCX plugins in

Code: Select all

[EquivalentExtensions]

of DiskDirExtended.ini:

Code: Select all

[EquivalentExtensions]
ExAmPlE=ext
MultiArc=7z,hlp,uha
InstallExplorer=exe,msi

These WCX plugins always enabled regardless DiskDirExtended.ini:

Code: Select all

[ListingOptions]
ListNever=InstallExplorer,IShield,MultiArc

DiskDir Extended works only with WCX plugins that registered with lower case.
E.g.:

Code: Select all

DiskDir Extended can list content of archives with help of MultiArc only after any (at least one) action by MultiArc (out of DiskDir Extended):

multiarc.hlp:
Commands

• List - produce listing; // enter in archive (by Total Commander) by double-click, CTRL+PgDn or ENTER
• Extract - extract file from archive;
• Test - test archive;
• Add - add file to archive;
• etc

DiskDir Extended drops debug_unrar.txt in

Code: Select all

c:\Temp

when lists RAR archives into ".lst"

debug_unrar.txt typically filled by multiple samples of:

Code: Select all

   275006 ms (line 719 in .\libs\unrarlib\unrarlib.c):
              - file header broken
   275006 ms (line 523 in .\libs\unrarlib\unrarlib.c):
              - Couldn't read next filename from archive (I/O error).

Operations with RAR archives by Total Commander (unpack/list/test) don't create debug_unrar.txt in this folder.
Tested with DiskDir Extended 1.65 and 1.60 (tcmd704a and tcmd75b8).

I don't understood anything... ZIP, RAR, CAB plugin expands as folders.

7Z archives doesn't expands although I have 7Z plugin v. 0.64 (with 0.5.4 also don't work) and Muitlarc also can handle 7Z archives. BTW, I'd tried to replace %COMMANDER_PATH% with full path in wincmd.ini and no differences.

EXE doesn't expand at all (ZIP, CAB, 7Z) (UseCanHandleThisFileForWCXs=yes, UseCanHandleThisFileForWCXsExtensions=exe).

Thanks, this was the reason of why DD-E worked before and don't work for now. Sorry, I had read your post carelessly.

BTW, DD-E had listed 7-Zip setup.exe (NSIS, multiarc with 7z.exe) even without entering it (immediately after TC restart). Also it had listed 7Z EXE, MSI (also w/o first action with Multiarc). But CAB SFX DD-E hadn't listed. I have UseCanHandleThisFileForWCXsExtensions=7z,exe,dir.

I found strange thing. I don't change any TC and Multiarc settings, just some times restarted TC and packed with DD-E 7Z SFX archive (handled by Multiarc). In some cases archive was listed, in some cases not. I think it is some Multiarc bug. Sometimes Multiarc even don't open 7Z SFX archive.

I'd created an addon with zip, cab, rar signatures for 7z.exe unpacker in Multiarc and DD-E lists CAB SFX also. I think ZIP and RAR SFX also may be listed with this trick 'til DD-E will use internal TC's SFX support.

Code: Select all

; Signatures for ZIP, CAB, RAR (any other supported may be added also)
ID=4D 53 43 46, 50 4B 03 04, 52 61 72 21
SkipSfxHeader=1
IDPos=<SeekID>
Extension=exe

Maybe it is possible to add just EXE signature and ignore errors.

I have a file "HP LaserJet 1200 WinNT Driver.exe" (MD5: 7B56C51709A5EF84F3A3BA6154A942B0) which DD-E lists incorrectly:

I prepared test folder with different archives and many times pack it (each time restart TC for clean plugin instances). Sometimes folder packed normally.

Once I'd got an error 'Stack overflow' while packing, some info (maybe helps):

Edit: 3/about 30 tests gave this error (same instruction, same general registers; different progress complete)

I don't know, maybe it's a Multiarc bug, w/o debug code it is hard to say.
