Dir date not always set upon Alt-F9

[Hacker]

Hi,
Windows 10 v1803 x64, TC 9.20 x64.
I have a ZIP file (which due to private contents I unfortunately cannot share) with contents like this:
file.zip\testdir\testfile.txt

If I enter the archive, place the cursor upon testdir, F5, Enter, testdir gets extracted with its date set correctly.

However:
If I enter the archive, place the cursor upon testdir, Alt-F9, Enter, testdir gets extracted but the date is incorrectly set to current date.
Also, if I place the cursor on file.zip, do not enter the archive, Alt-F9, Enter, testdir gets extracted the date is incorrectly set to current date.

Perhaps it is somehow related to Panel not refreshed when zipped file deleted but I don't really know of a way to check that.
Also, I was not able to reproduce this with an archive created by TC, whereas I can reliably reproduce it with the archive I got.

Can perhaps anyone else reproduce with some other archive?

TIA
Roman

It depends on whether the path names are packed separately or not, inside the zip file.

Try these test archives: http://madsenworld.dk/tcmd/testdirs.zip

Unpack the two archives testdir.zip and testdir2.zip - look inside them - they look as they have exactly the same content - even running the Sync tool will show the same content. Notice that the two archives has different sizes.

If you press Alt+F9 on testdir.zip, the testdir directory will be unpacked with the correct date (01-01-2017). But ii you press Alt+F9 on testdir2.zip, the testdir directory will get the current time and date, because the directory name "testdir" is not stored separately inside testdir2.zip.

It has been mentioned in the forum before - I just cannot find it again.
