[Solved] No 7z archive creation without a plugin

[petermad]

May I suggest this change:

If one of the plugins 7zip or Total7zip is installed, open the archive with that plugin when entering it with double click or Enter. When creating new archives, then in the Pack files dialog you can either check "7ZIP" for the internal packer/calling the 7zg executable, or -> "7z" to use the plugin.

"7ZIP", unless you have changed it to "7-Zip" in the next beta version of TC

OK, I will add that to the help.

This should have been fixed in 11.50 beta 2, please check! I also updated the help.

15.10.24 Fixed: Internal 7-Zip unpacker: Could not unpack archives to target names longer than 259 characters (32/64)
15.10.24 Fixed: Internal 7-Zip unpacker: Could not unpack archives with path longer than 259 characters (32)
13.10.24 Fixed: Internal 7-Zip packer: Could not pack files with names longer than 259 characters, or to archives with names longer than 259 characters, or both (32/64)

Confirmed that "then in the Pack files dialog" is added to the help

Moved to fixed bugs

I can add that the first time I tried the Internal 7-Zip packer using a clean ini file (to rule out interference with my 7-Zip plugins) I got the same error as

After seing this:

23.10.24 Fixed: Internal 7-Zip packer didn't work with files on FAT32 file systems (due to a bug in Visual Studio 2017) - use (32/64)

I went back and tried TC 11.50b2 on a FAT32 partition - and I got the same error again: "Cannot read file entry: Forkert parameter."

in mixed English and Danish

So I gues I used a FAT32 drive the very first time i tried the new internal 7-Zip packer.

Is there something missing at the end after the word "use"?

I wondered the same.

Yes, I wanted to add a link to the Github replacement library for the std::filesystem:
use ghc library from https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem
I have added it now, you don't need to move this back to the bug reports forum.

Btw, I only noticed by accident that it didn't work with FAT32 when testing 7-Zip packing on Windows 7.
