[8.0rc2] Tab path changes after switching from inner archive

[Flint]

1. Start TC with the following INI, where the [left]::path contents is substituted with your exact TEMP variable contents (plus trailing backslash), and [lefttabs]::0_path set to any location of the tcmd757a.exe file (or, probably, any other archive containing a nested archive):

Code: Select all

[left]
path=C:\Users\CAPTAI~1\AppData\Local\
[lefttabs]
0_path=d:\Temp\tcmd757a.exe\
activetab=1

2. TC opens with two tabs in the left panel: tcmd757a.exe contents (inactive) and TEMP dir (active). Press Ctrl+Tab to switch to tcmd757a.exe.
3. Navigate and enter the nested archive INSTALL.CAB.
4. Press Ctrl+Tab to switch back to TEMP.
5. TC normally should close the nested archive in the first tab and switch it back to the first-level archive contents. But in this specific scenario, instead, the second tab suddenly changes its path to d:\Temp\tcmd757a.exe\, while the first tab still contains the now inexistent INSTALL.CAB contents (the tab title shows that).

Confirmed. I guess it's caused by the way, how TC silently switches between temp directories, when navigating in and out of nested archives (you can see it when you navigate in and out of them very fast).

Yes, I think so too. Especially taking into account that for other directories (not TEMP or one of its descendants) the problem is not reproduced. So, probably, TC compares the paths and misses the point that it's a different tab.

Sorry, it would be too complex to change that. It's caused by the special handling of nested archives.
