Synchronize directories in asymmetric mode problem with password dialogues
Posted: 2021-07-02, 08:10 UTC
Hello, Christian.
I am afraid I have to report a reproducible issue in Total Commander 10.00 64-bit (means I have not tested on 32-bit, yet).
Where it still works: Total Commander 9.51 64-bit and 32-bit
OS-Platform: Windows 2016, Linux Mint 19.3 64-bit through Wine (in fact, the OS does not matter)
I have got a number of ZIP-archives, which are AES encrypted, i.e. password protected. (T.C. internal ZIP packer)
Left panel: source folder tree
Right panel: password protected ZIP archive (which is a backup of the source folder)
The encrypted ZIP archive gets updated regulary using the Total Commander functionality "Synchronize Directories" - Mode: Asymmetric.
This will trigger two password dialogues, asking for the same password each:
1. first time in order to be permitted to delete obsolete objects from the encrypted ZIP archive
2. second time in order to be permitted to add / update new or updated objects in the encrypted ZIP archive
In T.C. 9.51 the first password dialogue will be displayed. Type password. Press Enter.
Second dialogue comes up. Type password. Press Enter.
Deleting operation will be done first. Adding/Updating operation will be done second.
All works fine. No issues.
In T.C. 10.00 the first password dialogue will be displayed. Type password. Click OK.
Second dialogue comes up. Type password. The [OK] button will remain grayed out. Only chance is to click on Cancel.
Deleting operation will be done, because the first password had been accepted.
Click Synchronize button again.
Second dialogue will come up. Password already present. Click OK.
And the update operation will be executed as well.
I will be able to illustrate the explained behaviour with screenshots, just not at the moment. But no problem to create them and share the links here later.
Regards,
Karl
