TC 10.51 can't abort Pack Files on separate archives for external packers

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

TC 10.51 can't abort Pack Files on separate archives for external packers

Post by *isidro »

If we have 100 dirs selected, and go to Files, Pack Files; check Create Separate archives, one per selected dir. And use external 7zip packer. When trying to abort, it will only abort current job. But will start the 99 remaining. To Abort all compressions it's necessary to abort one by one 100 times. It's annoying, and I'm sure it didn't happen on previous versions.

I can confirm that you cannot aborts the whole process when using the Total7zip plugin (because it uses it's own progress dialog), but you can abort the complete process when using the 7zip plugin (it uses TC's progress dialog)

Problem with 7zip plugin is that it uses old v9.2 engine. Total7zip can use latest by replacing files from 7zip regular installation.

How do you use an external 7zip packer? Do you mean using the Total7zip plugin?

Yes, Total7zip plugin is the only that lets you update to latest 7zip version by replacing a few files.

Unfortunately Total7zip hasn't been updated for more than 10 years, so there is no real chance to get this fixed.
