[64] TC doesn't open 7-Zip archive on Enter

[MVV]

I have no 64-bit plugins yet for 7-Zip, so TC doesn't know that file is archive. It shows system icon for 7z file (folder with '7').

On Enter TC doesn't open file in 7-Zip manager. Shift+Enter also doesn't help.

Explorer opens archive in 7-Zip manager on Enter. Ctrl+Enter and then Enter in TC works as expected too.

I have 32-bit 7-Zip installed under Win7x64Pro. Please tell me if you need some registry settings.

Sounds like TC cannot understand the 7zip association. What do you see when you put the cursor on a 7zip file and choose Files - Associate - Edit type?

I see the following:

(x64)
Icon: usual 7-Zip icon
Type: 7-Zip.7z
Descr: 7z Archive
Open: "C:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7zFM.exe" "%1" (no DDE)
No other actions defined

(x32)
(same values)

Does TC process command line and Enter key differently? It works via Ctrl+Enter and Enter but doesn't work on just Enter.

I see - I will try with a fresh 7zip installation.

New details! It works with clean INI.

Got it:

Code: Select all

[Associations]
Filter4=*.7z
Filter4_open=**7z

If I comment/remove filter, TC will open archives as it should.

Thanks, that saves me a lot of work!

Indeed it's not a bug, **7z tells TC to open the 7zip file with plugin type 7z. Since there is no working 7zip 64-bit plugin, this will of course fail.

[MVV]

Agree, it is not a bug.

Christian, maybe TC may show an error message if ** association fails to load plugin?
