[TC 11.50b1 and earlier] TC jumps out of nested archives when changing folder tab

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC 11.50b1 and earlier] TC jumps out of nested archives when changing folder tab

Post by *petermad »

To reproduce:
  1. Open two folder tabs in the same file panel.
  2. In the first tab navigate to the folder where you have tc1150x32_b1.exe, tc1150x64_b1.exe and/or tc1150x32_64_b1.exe.
  3. Press Ctrl+PgDn on one of those installers to go into it.
  4. Double-click on Install.cab to open it.
  5. Click on the other folder tab in that file panel.
  6. Notice how the title on the folder tab changes from Install.cab to the name of the .exe file.
  7. Click on the first folder tab.
  8. Notice that you are no longer inside Install.cab.
It is not just with self extracting archives that this happens - it also happen with for example a zip file inside a zip file.
It does NOT happen if there is an archive opened in both folder tabs.
It is not new to TC 11.50 - it also happens in TC 11.03.

This is intentional so you don't keep open inner archives for each tab, just for the current tab(s). The inner archive is deleted when leaving the tab or switching to a different directory on the same tab.

That is fais enough
or switching to a different directory on the same tab.
That is highly inconvenient
