HORRIBLE archiver.ini bug!!!

Recommended Posts

OK AH, you've got me with the "Put in cmdline" Ctrl+Enter thing, but here's my backfire :-)

 

1. No tricks, start with the fresh NDN from http://ndn.muxe.com/archives/ndn_2_15_0000_w32.rar

Make sure you do NOT have pkunzip in the PATH but do have UNZIP in the PATH (http://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/ftp/mirror/infozip/WIN32/unz551xN.exe)

2. In this clean NDN, notice archiver.ini having a size of about 9k.

3. In the right file panel, enter a ZIP archive.

4. Options -> Archives -> Archives format... Zip

5. Change the packer's name from PKZIP to ZIP and the unpacker to UNZIP, press OK

6. Attempt to view the file from the archive. NDN will fail, although UNZIP.EXE is there!

7. Try again, you might succeed viewing the file. Here, NDN's behavior is quite random, so check the .GIF movies.

8. While trying again, check the archiver setup again. You may notice you still have the old settings, PKZIP and PKUNZIP!

9. While trying again, check archiver.ini. You may notice its truncation to 0 bytes or to just the entry for [ZIP].

1. Disable auto-repeat; the last frames contain the proof that archiver.ini was messed-up

2. Whenever you see the cursor over archiver.ini, I pressed Ctrl+R to check its size.

3. Notice how my important setting is lost! ;-(

-> to the list

Please add to the list the fact that NDN deletes an existing "archiver.bak" in the same directory as its archiver.ini, if you attempt to change archiver settings while an archive is open in a file panel.

 

Also a very serious bug which actually prevents me from unpacking ZIP files uzing UNZIP.EXE:

If there's no list char configured, the first file in the list to be unpacked is output twice!

 

I've already reported this here:

This is critical, I can't unpack ZIPs! And using pkunzip is not a solution.
