[tc10.51rc2] ZipFromList, zip file in Command and later in Parameters field

[white]

I have noticed strange behavior when environment variables (existing or not) have been used in combination with ZipFromList.

It's hard to reproduce consistently, but I may have found a way to consistently reproduce it.

Preparations:

• Create a new folder with 1 small file named "test.txt".
• Create the following 2 butttons:

  Code: Select all

  TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
  zipfromlist
  "test.zip" %UF
  wcmicons.dll,60
  Button1: Create test.zip
  
  
  -1
  

  Code: Select all

  TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
  zipfromlist "%test%.zip"
  %UF
  wcmicons.dll,60
  Button 2: Create %test%.zip
  
  
  -1
  

Testing:

• Select the file "test.txt"
• Click Button 1
• Delete "test.zip"
• Select the file "test.txt" again (might be already selected)
• Click Button 2
• Delete "%test%.zip"
• Select the file "test.txt" again (might be already selected)
• Click Button 1 again
• Error "File not found!" is displayed.

Confirmed.
Only after restarting TC I can use the Button 1 again.

I can confirm this, but only with a fresh ini file, not with my work ini file. I will try and find the culprit

EDIT:
I found the reason why I could not reproduce the bug with my work ini - it was due to these two settings in combination:

Code: Select all

[Searches]
Kommentar_SearchFor=
Kommentar_SearchIn=
Kommentar_SearchText=
Kommentar_SearchFlags=0|002002000020|||||||||0000|||
Kommentar_Plugin=tc.comment != ""

[Colors]
.
.
.
ColorFilter16=>Kommentar
ColorFilter16Color=40704

used for coloring files with comments.

Notice if I add a comment to one of the other files in the test directory, then I can also reproduce the bug even with the [Searches] and [Colors] settings shown above.

If I add a description to test.txt and I have the ini settings shown above it is simply impossible to use button 1 even after restart of TC.

If I use a frech ini file only with this added:

Code: Select all

[searches]
Comment_SearchFor=
Comment_SearchIn=c:\test3
Comment_SearchText=
Comment_SearchFlags=0|002002000020|||||||||0000|||
Comment_plugin=tc.comment != ""

[Colors]
ColorFilter1=>Comment
ColorFilter1Color=6472704
ColorFilter1ColorDark=13040018,6472704

then I don't even have to use button 2 to get the error message - I can just use button 1 two or more times.

I can also confirm white's observation with a fresh and with my regular ini.

As Horst.Epp wrote, Button 1 works again after a restart. Sometimes(!) it is sufficient to leave and re-enter the directory to make Button 1 work again...

Even more strange: I get one out of two different error messages when pressing Button 1 -- though I cannot tell which one appears under which circumstances:

The problem isn't the % sign here, it's that you pass the zip file via parameter field in button 1, and appended to the command in button 2. I will fix it.

Confirmed. I changed the subject of the topic accordingly.

Tested OK using TC10.52rc3 32bit and 64bit.

Moved to Fixed bugs.

24.08.22 Fixed: The ZIPFROMLIST command could fail when called once with the zip name in the parameters field and once with the zip name in the command field (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 10.51rc3
