Packing with Total7zip hangs up TC

Pack several files to .7z archive with Total7zip - check "individual archives for each file", and:
- while 7zip is working, total commander is not responding
- when you cancel in 7zip, it starts next file
- probably when you kill Totalcmd process (which hangs), (total)7zip continues performing, and, when you cancel, it (still) starts next file

Unpack with total7zip:
- press "in background"
- unpack next file
- unpack will not start until first operation completed

This is probably not a Total7zip bug, but a (all) WCX plugin(s) bug ?

Tested with
Total7zip Version 0.8.5.6

sorry, i didn't recorded, when i wrote "not responding", i meant exactly that

to get this "not responding", you have to select "move to archive".

the unpacking, can't confirm at this moment

i don't like the string "move to archive". it should be "delete after packing". it is actually not a "move", like in file system. it should be changed.

If you move a file between different partitions or disks in the file system it is also a copy followed by a delete.

This can happen when a plugin doesn't call the "percent done" callback for a longer time.
