Feature request: Memorizing directory position in packed fil

Post by *BIGPILOT »

When I 'dive' into a .tar.gz file the directory changes to a temporary directory where the file is stored. When I go back 'up' to the root I end up in the temp directory, not in the directory where the file was originally accessed. How about memorizing the directory where the file was accessed?

It only happens with archive in archive. And it happens only if you try to get out too fast (or with the '\' root button). If you press 'backspace' wait a second and press 'backspace' again your still in the dir where the archive is.

It's a known behavior and @ghisler found no practicable way to prevent it until now.

Even the [Ctrl]+ [r]/ [F2] does not prevent you from changing to temp dir if you're really quick ;).

It works for me and I'm really quick: TCmd cann't follow my keystrokes. Therefore a hundred percent protection for me. :D
With my Athlon XP 1800+ machine I press [Ctrl]+[r] twice and then I'm in the TC-tempdir. Did possibly you fail to try with an archive in archive or do you use a Cray or something similiar? :lol:
