TC8.0 beta 3, 32bit: unpacking RAR in background

shinca · Post by *shinca » 2011-10-03, 16:02 UTC

- in Configuration -> packer I'm using external RAR packer (internal RAR check box unchecked)
- when I start unpacking RAR package command prompt from RAR shows and starts unpacking
- TC is showing Form with text "Files are being unpacked, please wait..." and button "Background"
- when I switch to TC and press ENTER (with "Background" button showing as selected) nothing happens, form doesn't close
- pressing on the "Background" button with mouse closes the form
- pressing ESC also closes the form

In beta 2 and earlier pressing Enter, Esc or clicking with mouse on the "Background" button closed the form.

This was actually a bug in beta 2 and earlier: Enter always closed the form like pressing Cancel button. This will probably leave a temporary file with the list of files to pack/unpack in TEMP.

Not changed in beta 4.

Just a question - what is the difference between having enter key "press" the Background button (by setting button as default with modal result OK) and clicking on it with mouse?

Also I checked what happens when I press ESC and RAR doesn't seem to leave any temp files after unpacking. Also files unpack normally if I press ESC, it doesn't cancel the unpacking.

Basically everything seems to work the same if I leave the form while unpacking is taking place or if I close it with ESC or with pressing Background button.

ENTER activates the default button. Space activates the button with focus.

ENTER should now activate the background button too in this dialog, can anyone test it please?

Problem confirmed using beta 4 32-bit for both packing and unpacking. Tested OK using beta 5 32-bit.

I noticed however that the access key of the button does not work. Do you want me to make a bug report for that?

Great, thanks for confirming the fix! Please report any other bugs in separate reports, with detailed descriptions of what doesn't work, and how to reproduce it. Thanks.
