Apparently, Total Commander's unpacking support for ACE is broken in current v10. I created several ACE archives with solid, non-solid, store-only, and non-acev2 compression. None of these archives could be unpacked with TC, it always requests to configure an external packer.
I can confirm this for 64bit TC - it works for 32bit TC. It is not new to TC 10.00 - even the first 64bit TC - v8.00 cannot unpack ACE archives internally.

That's an older version of ACE32.exe, v2.04. The one provided with the download I posted previously is the final v2.6.0.

Good find. And thanks for raising an additional bug report.

There are currently no plans to support ACE in Total Commander 64-bit, sorry.

No problem, all is good. :) I already tested the included Ace32.exe with TC, it works fine. Just add the parameter "-c-" to the ace packer configuration to avoid having to press a key each time.

Wincmd.ini:

Code: Select all

[Packer]
ACE=ACE32.EXE -c-

Thank you! It worked just fine.

So shouldn't you disable it like you did with UC2, for consistency, or are you leaving it there because it works with the external ace32.exe?

Does anyone know of a command-line ace32 older version that works with TC?
I use this one https://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/tools/packers/Ace32.exe - it works well with TC.

It works as a command line packer, but it also have a DOS user interface that looks like Norton Commander.
Thank you. I'll check to see if it's newer than the 2.6 Deus-ex has just shared.

Then the option to "Use internal un-ACE if possible" should be greyed out (or removed) in the Packer Configuration of Total Commander 64-bit

Agreed, greyed out for TC 64-bit. And change the description to "Use internal un-ACE (TC 32-bit only)".
