[TC 11.58rc3] Lost subdirs paths focus inside arcihve after tab switch

[MaxX]

1. Open password protected (header encrypted) RAR file with subdirs existing inside
2. To to any subdir, move cursor to any file and pay attention to it.
3. Switch to another tab on same side of filepanel.
4. Switch back to in-archive tab.
5. Under-cursor focus is lost, you got kicked to the root of archive.

TC 11.57 works fine.

you got kicked to the root of archive.

That is by design:

10.06.26 Fixed: When switching from a tab showing a subdirectory of a header-encrypted archive to a different tab, revert the location to the root of the archive to not leak the name of the subdirectory in the tab header (32/64)

Ok, it makes some troubles in my daily work. How can I disable that?

How can I disable that?

I don't think you currently can.

I think that if Remember password is enabled - this new "feature" should not be used - if you have chosen to remember the password, you have given up protection against other people prying. - so hiding the folder name in the folder tab title is unimportant. What is important is to not save the encrypted folder names in wincmd.ini

I have considered this, but then the password is forgotten when you minimize TC, but the paths would remain.

[petermad]

OK, then maybe not do it when KeepPackerPassword is 1, 2 or 3

I will use the following solution: Keep the subdir when switching to other tabs when a password is remembered.
Then revert them to the archive root when the password is forgotten when minimizing or closing TC, or when the screen saver starts.

[MaxX]

That sounds nice.

This has been changed in Total Commander 11.58 RC4, please test!

14.06.26 Fixed: When switching away from a tab showing a subdirectory of a header-encrypted archive, do not revert to the root of the archive if the user has chosen to remember the password. Only revert when forgetting the password, e.g. when minimizing (32/64)

Please note that when duplicating a tab in the background, the new tab still reverts to the root of the archive.

Works fine. Thanks.

[ghisler(Author)]

Great, thanks!
