Apparently, Total Commander's unpacking support for ACE is broken in current v10. I created several ACE archives with solid, non-solid, store-only, and non-acev2 compression. None of these archives could be unpacked with TC, it always requests to configure an external packer.
I can confirm this for 64bit TC - it works for 32bit TC. It is not new to TC 10.00 - even the first 64bit TC - v8.00 cannot unpack ACE archives internally.

No problem, all is good. I already tested the included Ace32.exe with TC, it works fine. Just add the parameter "-c-" to the ace packer configuration to avoid having to press a key each time.

Then the option to "Use internal un-ACE if possible" should be greyed out (or removed) in the Packer Configuration of Total Commander 64-bit
Agreed, greyed out for TC 64-bit. And change the description to "Use internal un-ACE (TC 32-bit only)".

Hello. I have problems with ARJ. I am using the last TC 11.50 beta 4, and the arj.exe is from the archive indicated in this thread.
If I try to compress a file structure via the command line all is good. But if I try the same command line via the TC packers, it creates an archive with all files having three different copies in. I tried with my TC subtree (including all subfolders). Here is what I am using:
ARJ=arj.exe -a+ -r+ -y+ -jm0 -jt+ -j$ -jh17000
Later edit: This is a parameters mismatch. The minimal set of parameters to do maximal compression and archive testing is
ARJ=arj.exe -jm1 -jt
And here all is fine. I am sorry to flag a problem that is PEBKAC.
The point is not actually WHY I use it, the point is that it is there and is supposed to be set up correctly. I periodically (re)check a lot of such settings and behaviours, particularly on TC. TC is the first thing that starts with my PC, and literally the last thing that terminates when closing the PC.
