Fixes after Total Commander 7.04a

  • (23.11.08) Fixed: Command line: Access violation when "cd" command was longer than 259 characters
  • (21.11.08) Fixed: Search function: Regex search ignored empty search string (bug in Regexpr library) -> assume .*
  • (21.11.08) Fixed: Access violation when trying to unpack multiple files from locked RAR. Reason: RAROpenArchive returned 0, but TC expected INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE
  • (21.11.08) Fixed: Access violation when adding too many files to command line with Shift+Drag&Drop
  • (29.10.08) Fixed: Auto-resume upload could restart at position 0 of the file if the server or connection was very slow, and didn't support the SIZE command
  • (21.10.08) Fixed: Could not unpack files from zip if they were both stored and in stream format (size+crc at the end)
  • (09.09.08) Fixed: Alt+Cursor left/right (history back/forward) could add '?' character to command line with U.S. keyboard
  • (05.09.08) Fixed: Lister: Search function didn't report an error when searching backwards when the last match was at the beginning of the file
  • (05.09.08) Fixed: Lister: regex search backwards could not find first 'a' in string like 'aaaaaa'
  • (05.09.08) Added: Allow to copy NTFS permissions also from NTFS drives with 8k clusters (or larger). These are detected by mistake as Samba drives because they do not support NTFS compression
  • (05.09.08) Fixed: Copy files from zip to zip: temporary files were not deleted when user aborts the first (unpacking) step
  • (20.08.08) Fixed: Vista x64 only: Windows Open/Save file dialog not working with x64DisableRedirection=1 -> turn it off (downside: cannot open 64-bit dll files in Lister this way)
  • (20.08.08) Fixed: Access violation (not critical) when trying to modify ZIP archives created with SharpZipLib (due to invalid ZIP64 headers)

  • (10.08.08) Added: Support reload (F2) in Lister also when viewing RTF files
