Solved [TC 10.50rc2] Wrong timestamp and archive attr. in installer

[petermad]

When opening the tc1050x32_rc2.exe, tc1050x64_rc2.exe or tc1050x32_64_rc2.exe with Ctrl+PgDn it is seen that the file timestamps are 10.30 and not 10.50 as expected - and only a few of the files in the install.cab file are marked with the archive bit.

This also applies to the content of the totalcmd.chm files

Not a big deal, but it would be nice if this doen't occur in the final version.

Well, 10.30 (hour) is perfectly in the middle between 10 and 11, just as 10.50 for numbers.
AIK dates and times inside CHM file are fakes - doesn't exist really - just set by packer plugin from "archive" timestamp.
For check copy file anywhere change date/time and timestamp of all files inside changes accordingly.

Sorry, I must have made a typo when creating the installers.

TC10.50rc3, all packages:

Code: Select all

DEFAULT.BAR     977  22-06-2022 00:00   ----
NO.BAR           26  22-06-2022 00:00   ----
VERTICAL.BAR    417  22-06-2022 00:00   ----

These files always had a different time stamp. Is it on purpose?

tc1050x32_rc3.exe, tc1050x64_rc3.exe and tc1050x32_64_rc3.exe are back to normal timestamps (also inside the .chm files)

also inside the .chm files

You mean .cab files?

I do think CHM. Do a ctrl-pgdn on the chm file and you'll see all html files now are 10.50

It doesn't on my computer. I assume you need a plugin for that?

[hi5]

Right you are - installed so long ago I forgot about it and had to look it up, I'm using the CHMDir Plugin http://totalcmd.net/plugring/chmdir.html - but I see here https://www.ghisler.com/plugins.htm Total7zip can also open chm files?

If you have total7zip plugin installed you can press Ctrl+Dn to open chm files - it does not show the date/time of the files though.

I use the http://totalcmd.net/plugring/chmdir.html plugin - but be aware that the 64bit version is buggy and cannot modify chm files.

Yes, a timestamp of zero means "do not overwrite unless the target files also have a timestamp of zero".
