[TC 8.0b21 x64] Copy from zip shows "Rename/Move"

amach · Post by *amach » 2012-02-27, 20:09 UTC

When copying files from a zip to a folder using F5, TC shows "Rename/Move" at the top of dialog window instead of "Copy". Nevertheless, the files are copied and not moved.

Not confirmed. When I copy files from a zip archive, I see "Unpack", not "Copy" or "Rename/Move".

Same here.

Maybe a translation error? Which language file do you use?

If amach is using Portuguese the string is 169="Descompactar:" which seems to be correct.

I use no translation file (original English).

I've narrowed the tests and found out that it only happens when overwriting files as admin (for instance, when unpacking files to a subfolder under "C:\Program Files (x86)").

And yes, you are right, it should be "Unpack" and not "Copy".

Hi, amach.
When I extract some files from an archive to some protected folder, I see at least 5 different windows one after another (and more if I want to overwrite some files).

the Unpack dialog - asks where to unpack
the Access denied dialog - asks for permissions
the UAC dialog
the Unpack progress dialog - TC is extracting files from the archive to a temporary folder
the Rename/move progress dialog - TC is moving files from the temporary folder to original destination

I guess you are referring to dialog number 5 and as you can see, it says "Rename/Move" because it is moving files, not copying.

That makes sense: The tcmadmin.exe tool is quite dumb and cannot handle things like packing, unpacking, plugins etc. Therefore TC first unpacks the archive to TEMP, and tcmadmin.exe then moves the files to the protected location.

OK, that sounds reasonable. It's just that I was surprised when I've pressed F5 to copy files, seen "Rename/Move" and thought, frightened: "Oh, did I mistakenly press F6 instead of F5?". Then I've checked the files inside the ZIP and they were still there.
