582 - Archive operations do not work
Posted: 29.03.2012, 07:54
I use the default archive plugin
I can copy the files into archive BUT I can't
1. Delete files from it using shortcuts. Neither F8 nor Shift-Delete works. Only a Delete from the context menu works.
2. Rename files. F2 doesn't work. F6 copies the file to another directory but the file is still in archive. Context menu doesn't offer an option for renaming. Invoking multi-rename dialog leads to an error message "Data loading error"
3. If the file doesn't have zip extension, but e.g. jar, no context menu appears at all.
The setting dialog for archiver plugins is confusing - in a drop down list it offers supported options (607), what does it mean? If you expand the drop down list you see a lot of other options (e.g. can modify archive) but choosing them changes nothing.
I've tried other plugins:
1. TotalZip - I still can't delete files from archive. F2 activates the inline editor for file name. But after entering a new name and pressing "enter" the old name is kept
2. 7Zip works only with 7z format. When trying to get into a zip file a get an "Archive format unknown" error message.
Is there any description how to configure the archiver plugins correctly in order to work with the archives like with a normal directory?
