internal 7zip: Memory Error

[funkymonk]

TC 11.50b4 x32 dark @ Win11

Sometimes, there are is enough memory available when compressing with the new internal 7zip:

1. Bug: The message is partially in English and partially in German.
   
2. Bug: The message box uses the light color theme even though the dark color theme is active for TC.
   
3. The message is about insufficient memory. I have not spent time on finding the problem. However, at the time the error typically pops up, only a small fraction of RAM is in use.
   When I took the screenshot above, only 18% of 32GB RAM were in use and the 7zip options dialog said that only 384MB would be required.
   Sounds doable, right? A bug? As said: I have not investigated more...
   
   My 7zip settings: https://ibb.co/ZxzySfW
   BTW: Some items in some dropdown boxes of the 7zip options tab are marked with "*". What does this mean? Default? It's not explained in the help file.
   
4. It happens every now an then that packing with 7zip works well several times. Then, the memory bug pops up and does so for all subsequent compression attempts -- even for files which were packed without any problem before. Restarting TC resolves the problem (until it happens again).

Bug: The message is partially in English and partially in German.

The first part of the message is from the TC language file currently in use (or TC's internal English). The second part is the error text retrieved from the OS. I wouldn't classify this as a bug. However, I would probably add a linebreak between them and maybe add the numeric error code.

There is no such string ("Error while compressing files:") in wcmd_eng.lng or inside TOTALCMD64.EXE

TC has a similar string though:
1127="Internal error compressing file!"

So the error must either be generated entirely by the OS, or maybe partly by the 7z dll

TCBIT7Z64.DLL has the string ("Error while compressing files:")

You're right, the first part is from the tcbit7z*.dll.

The tcbit7z error messages cannot be translated, sorry.
