+Bug with making new directory with WCX plugins

[Eugene]

When making new directory using F7 key in some archive supported by external plugin, TC creates directory in windows TEMP, then calls PackFiles function to pack it to archive. The problem is that directory remains in TEMP, because TC neither deletes it itself, nor asks plugin to delete it by specifying PK_FLAG_MOVE_FILES flag. If I ask again to make directory with the same name (in the same or in another archive), the operation fails because directory with such name already exists in TEMP.

You can repeat it with any archive type, not supported by TC natively. Say, this one.

Hello, Eugene.

I can reproduce the reported behaviour.

Testing Environment:
+ Linux Mint 13, 32-bit, Wine 1.4.1
+ Total Commander 8.50 (final)
+ Packer Plugin: 7zip Plugin for Total Commander, 0.7.6.5a: 2011-10-24, Christian Ghisler, Recompiled for 64-bit Windows

Steps:

1. Created temp.7z file holding some random files.
2. copied temp.7z as temp2.7z
3. opened temp.7z, pressed <F7> and created folder New1
4. opened temp2.7z, pressed <F7> and created folder New1.
   This frequently would fail on first try: "error while packing".
   This would succeed on second try, however.
5. opened temp.7z, pressed <F7> and created folder New2
6. opened temp2.7z, pressed <F7> and created folder New2.
   This frequently would fail on first try: "error while packing".
   This would succeed on second try, however.
7. repeated the steps 3-4, 5-6 with more folders.
   Always the same result:
   Creating folder NewX will succeed on first try in temp.7z, but will always fail on first try in temp2.7z.
   Second try will always succeed.

So far I have not been able to locate the offending NewX folder which you tell us will be left behind in %windir%\temp. Nothing left behind in %windir%\temp here.
OK, I found the foldernames which each <F7> inside a 7z-archive will leave behind:

Code: Select all

C:\users\karl\Temp\_tc\New1\
C:\users\karl\Temp\_tc\New2\
C:\users\karl\Temp\_tc\New3\
C:\users\karl\Temp\_tc\New4\
C:\users\karl\Temp\_tc\New5\

Hm, I guess this means I have fully reproduced your problem report.

Kind regards,
Karl

I suppose this means the bug is confirmed?

Second try will always succeed.

To be precise, on first, third, fifth, etc tries it succeeds;
on second, fourth, sixth, etc tries it fails.

This is intentional because TC cannot know when that directory is no longer needed.

Actually it was a bug, so please test the fix in 8.51 beta 1!

Thanks for checking it!

Did a quick test in 8.51b1, looks like it is fixed in this version.
