Total Commander (English) • Re: How to make 7-Zip as default .zip and .7z packer/unpacker in TC?

But now it doesn't even "open" a 7zip file
When you write a 7zip file do you mean a file with the extension .7zip or with the extension .7z - or both.

Do you remember to restart your TC each time you have made changes in the wincmd.ini file?

You should change:
Code:
7zip=735,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx
to:
Code:
7z=735,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx
or add:
Code:
7z=735,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx
I have now changed back the Tc7z64.dll file to it's original name and opening and unpacking 7zip files is working again
if you want to use the plugin to open .7zip and .7z files you need to add it to the internal association to:
Code:
[Associations]Filter0=*.zip *.7z *.7zipFilter0_open=**7zip_zip
Also - make sure that you don't have two [Associations] sections in your wincmd.ini

Ok, now after these few changes it looks like this:

Code:

[PackerPlugins]7zip_zip=735,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcxTotalObserver=68,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\TotalObserver\TotalObserver.wcx7zip=735,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx7z=735,C:\NEW Desktop PC - MyFiles\Utils and Drivers\Total Commander - Installed\plugins\wcx\Total7zip\Total7zip.wcx[Packer]RememberLastPassword=1InternalZip=0InternalUnzip=1zipnt=0zip7z=1ZIP=""C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe""UnZIP=pkunzip.exeInternalZipRate=9Zip83Name=0ZipSetDateToNewest=0nodelete=0OpenPartial=0LastUsedPacker64=10002LastUsedPacker=1DefPlugin=7zipZIPRecurseSubdirs=1[SearchText]0=40A4BG1=A2203412=V00003=V00044=30I.N10275=30I6=V0004.067=N10278=V0004.06.30I.N10279=Errno10=Errno 2211=Errno 1312=Timeout13=Getaddrinfo14=Gaierror15=decryption16=Connection17=Socket18=Invalid argument19=Permission denied[PackerPlugins64]$checksum$=3785590797exts=7zip_zip*TotalObserver*7zip*[Associations]Filter0=*.zip *.7z *.7zipFilter0_open=**7zip_zip

I have checked and there's no other "Associations" section within the file. (And of course I do restart TC after every wincmd modification...)

What have changed: With Alt+Enter checking of 7z files inside it now shows: "Packer: 7z". Guest that's right now? Or it still has to be something else? Like precisely "Packer= 7Zip_zip"? Unpacking of 7zip files working fine.

Alt+Enter checking of a zip file inside still shows: "Packer: zip". So we are being still get stuck with this part. When "Use internal unzipper..." is unchecked in the "Zip Packer" settings the unpacking of zip files doesn't even work at all (error message as I wrote before)...

Edit: Does now TC7Z64.DLL still matter? Should I rename it, or can I left it as it is?
