[8.0ß9-x64] INI, LastUsedPacker64 strange behavior

[Biozynotiker]

Things to know:
- x86/x64 versions share same config files
- x86 "LastUsedPacker" is set to 4 (RAR, external packer)

Bug:
- x64 reads and use the x86 "LastUsedPacker", if there is no "LastUsedPacker64"
- x64 creates no "LastUsedPacker64" until you use an internal packer (zip, tar, etc)

Stuff to reproduce:
- "LastUsedPacker64" does not exist, "LastUsedPacker" is set to 4 (RAR)
- go into an rar archiv and list the content of it
- select some files to pack from the archiv
- press alt+f5
- pack dialog is set to ZIP instead of RAR

Confirmed exept for:

x64 creates no "LastUsedPacker64" until you use an internal packer (zip, tar, etc)

It does not have to be an internal packer - just any shift of packer (for example ARJ or plugin) makes TC write the LastUsedPacker64 key.

But it would be better if LastUsedPacker64 was written the first time a packer is used, also if no change in packer has been made - especially since TC apparantly does not use LastUsedPacker but only LastUsedPacker64 when inside an archive.

LastUsedPacker64 is needed because there may be a different number of 32-bit and 64-bit packer plugins installed, so the two numbers will probably be different.

it would be better if LastUsedPacker64 was written the first time a packer is used, also if no change in packer has been made

OK, I can add it when LastUsedPacker was set.

In beta 10, I'm now using LastUsedPacker also when re-packing, and LastUsedPacker64 isn't present.

Fixed in TC8.0b10!

Confirmed fixed as described in TC 8.0b10 x64

But, if I change packer during the re-packing then it is LastUsedPacker that is changed and LastUsedPacker64 is still not written if not present.

Also if I change packer during re-packing, LastUsedPacker is not updated if a plugin is used (LastUsedPacker64 is updated though).

Thanks!

LastUsedPacker64 is saved only when it is different from the previous value of LastUsedPacker or LastUsedPacker64.

LastUsedPacker is not updated if a plugin is used because the index would probably be different (not all plugins are 64-bit).
