[8.0ß23] ''cm_UnloadPlugins'' kills TC while packing 7z

Heh, seems like nobody understood problem...

Sir_SiLvA, plugin should cancel packing instead of causing TC to crash. There can't be another right behaviour. When you close some archiver that packs something (or any other program that does something long-standing), it abort packing and closes, but it doesn't cause any crash. Any DLL must stop all running tasks and free all its memory and resources on unloading.

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
The question is simlpe - who does crash - tc or plugin?

And thats where I have another opinion
In mine noone should execute cm_unload while tc is using a dll ofc,
so no I dont see max Problem see my branch alegory....
(And imho it doesnt matter if TC or Plugin crash - use brain.exe = no crash...)

That, what you say can have some sense, but not in my case.
e.g.
If you make short circuit (accident, or not, has no matter!) - safety fuse must disconnect you device from broken power supply. Device must NOT burn!
Understand my opinion?

Actually it's Windows which crashes because the module which is active is suddenly unloaded.

I have no plans to wait for the plugin to end its background operation just for this debug command, sorry.

[MVV]

Christian, I'm sure it is a plugin bug because it really must stop all running background threads on DllMain with DLL_PROCESS_DETACH (this is sent by Windows to module on unloading), but it seems that it doesn't.

TC 8.0 beta 25 + 7zip.wcx 0.7.6.5 -- the bug is still present.

[MVV]

MaxX, it was discussed and no one tried to fix anything (subforum name should describe why). Also, as I understand, it is a plugin bug, so it should be fixed in plugin.

[MaxX]

MVV, where can I find plugin's author? Or he stopped developing it?

[MVV]

I think you may ask here.
