7zip packing from zip archive

Post by *aguirRe »

I've noticed a problem when packing directly from a standard zip archive into a 7zip archive with the wcx plugin v0.4.5. The files get unzipped to a temp directory and 7zipped properly, but all the temp files remain after operation (and even after exiting TC).

I don't know if it's the plugin's responsibility or TC's, though. Everything works fine if 7zipping from normal files.

I will check that, thanks. Does the "move to archive" option work in Files - Pack when packing normal files (not from archives)?

No, for 7zip it packs, but still leaves the original files (should be removed).

Thanks for your bug report. This has been fixed with 0.4.6 release, please download it from totalcmd.net.

Ono: Thanks for the update, I will try it asap. Btw, I'm experiencing a crash when testing (shift-alt-F9) some 7zip archives on Win95 OSR2, Pentium 233. Most archives are OK but sometimes I get the following message box: http://user.tninet.se/~xir870k/7zip_crash_95.png.

Again I don't know if it's the 7zip plugin or TC that crashes. Testing the same archive on WinXP is fine, so it looks like a platform issue. I can unpack the archive on the Win95 machine without problems, but testing crashes. Same problem with 0.4.6 as 0.4.5.

Any ideas?

There seems to be another and more serious bug on the Win95 platform.

If updating (copy or move to) a 7zip archive with another version of the same file, the archive seems to be updated (progress bar etc), but nothing happens to the archive. This is especially bad when using move of course;, the source gets deleted and the destination is unchanged. Then maybe the only copy of your data is lost.
