[TC 11.51rc4] Internal associations: Overriding opening of archives doesn't work if archive is not recognized as archive

[white]

04.02.25 Fixed: Couldn't override opening of archives via internal associations. To not break existing associations, the extension must be explicitly put in the search string, e.g. *.zip *.rar, and it can only be redefined with ***command (32/64)

This looks more like an added feature than a fix. Wouldn't it be better to use "Added:" here instead of "Fixed:"?

* Create an internal association for: *.zip *.tbr *.gz *.tgz *.7z *.rar *.arj *.lzh
* Define the Open command as: ***cm_list
* Create a test file containing the text "123". Copy this file to files with above mentioned filename extensions.
* Try to open each file in TC.

The .zip and .tbr files are opened with Lister. The other files are not and an error is shown saying: "Error in packed file".

No, it's clearly a bug that you can't override archive associations.

The .zip and .tbr files are opened with Lister. The other files are not and an error is shown saying: "Error in packed file".

You are right, there is an additional check whether the file is a valid archive after where it checks for internal associations. I will skip it when there is an internal association.

This should be fixed in RC5, please test!

10.02.25 Fixed: Overriding opening of archives via internal associations didn't work for all archive types if the archive was invalid (32/64)

Tested OK using TC 11.51rc5 32-bit and 64-bit.
