Total SQX 1.10 (packer plug-in)

Sheepdog · Post by *Sheepdog » 2006-04-26, 09:12 UTC

If this is mentioned before I apologize - I had not time to scan all 18 pages.

When testing a password protected SQX Archive no password is requested and TC freezes at 96%. Although one could cancel the test operation it is a bit annoying.

Don't know if this a limitation of SQX, the Plugin or TC.

Hi,
thanks for reporting this bug. I really wonder why noone found it before

It's definitely a bug in the plug-in.

It will be fixed only if there will be improvements to the test archive user interface and a repair command in TC 7

You're welcome. It was originally found by chris34.

BTW did you receive my mail regarding the missing filename when an error occurs while testing?

Does the new beta2 version can't use a password to protect the archive?

First I checked Encrypt (ZIP only) in TC's pack dialog, and input two times password, but didn't work.
Second I used the SQX's Configure dialog choosed from TC's pack dialog, I enter password in the Security page, but didn't work neither.

It should work.

Well ZIP only means ZIP only. This has absolutely no effect when creating a SQX archive.

Second I used the SQX's Configure dialog choosed from TC's pack dialog, I enter password in the Security page, but didn't work neither.

That should work. I have tested this some minztes ago and it worked fine.
Did you set an unpack or even a listing password protection?

Maybe you only listed the content of the archive (while you did not protect listing explicit)?

You set the password in the configure dialog of SQXC plugin. Here it works fine with V 1.1.0.0 ß2.

Hello Stefan !

• It works fine here too. I guess that the order of the passwords to set is normal technically,
but a bit confusing for some users…
- In other words, they expect that setting the "Unpack" first protection in the dialogue, it is not possible to open (list) the archive… that is not correct, indeed.
Obviously, the most important protection is to prevent the unpacking !

Thx for the quick reply.

Strange, now the encrypt works.
Perhaps it's my fault, cause I forgot that TC can cache the password and misleaded by the Attr field(see my following the first question).

But I have two more question.

First: In the protected SQX archive, TC's Attr field can't indicate the encrypted file ie TC can't show the "e" in his Attr column for the encrpted file. The encrpted file in a ZIP archive can. I don't know whether it's a TC or plugin's problem...

Second: Does the SQX archive support different password for different files? I guess not by my test.

If SQX pack can use the TC's input password although it said ZIP only, it'll be more convenient.

It seems to be a hardcoded ZIP only "feature". The encrypted attribute is normally a NTFS feature which indicates that a file is encrypetd using NTFS.
To see if a SQX archive is encrypted use "Total SQX Content". This content plug-in has the fields
totalsqx.Unpack Protection
totalsqx.Has List Protection

You could use these fields for example to color encrypted NTFS files.

Does the SQX archive support different password for different files?

I'm not sure if I understood you here. You can set a new password (or 2 if you use list protection) for each new archive you create.
Each archive has exactly one listing password if set.
When creating an archive there is exactly one unpack password for all files in the archive. For non-solid archives a new unpack password can be used when adding files to this archive. In this case extracting the whole archive means it's required to enter multiple unpack passwords.
For solid archives there is only one unpack password per archive.

Please also note:
- Unpack and listing password must be different.
- After creating an archive the pack passwords are deleted. That means if you want to create another encrypted archive you need to enter the passwords again.

If SQX pack can use the TC's input password although it said ZIP only, it'll be more convenient.

This is impossible as TC doesn't inform Total SQX (and all other packer plug-ins) about these passwords.

Please note that a listing protection can only be set when the archive has an unpack protection. This is why you need to enter the unpack password first.

Now I understand, I've used solid archive. Thx!
