Two bugs in FAR V1.75 RC0 (build 2492)

Post by gamma »

I found two FAR V1.75 RC0 (build 2492) problems with file panel update:

1. Ctrl-R Panel re-read sometimes does not work for CD drives under Win98, if the volume labels of the CDs are identical e.g. with self-burned CDs. Works under Win2000, no problems with 1.70 build 2087. The file panel is not updated and shows the old content. If you try to list directory you get the FAR error message: "Invalid directory name. Cannot execute dir. OK"


If you press Ctrl-L for info view the file system info is blank:

Code: Select all

User name                 W.Ehrhardt
------------------------------------




-------------- Memory --------------
Memory load                      20%
Total memory             267.436.032

should be like this

User name                 W.Ehrhardt
------- CD-ROM disk G: (CDFS) ------
Total bytes              719.486.976
Free bytes                         0
Volume label                     NEW
Serial number              FFE8-5098
-------------- Memory --------------
Memory load                      20%
Total memory             267.436.032
Seems that v1.75 RC0 (build 2492) gives up to early when waiting for the drive ready under Win98, does not retry, or ???. May be it is an OS quirk, but there is no problem with 1.70 build 2087 under the same OS: If you press Ctrl-R to early the drive selection menu is shown until the drive is really ready.

2. Another problem with panel update (with both Win2000 and Win98): If the Tree.Cache directory does not exist in the FAR directory, after Pressing Alt-F10 and exit 'Find folder' window, the panel is corrupted (file names and colors).

Code: Select all

Original                 After Alt-F10/Esc        Re-Read

Other example
-------------
Tree.Cache
1  arPluginsCache
2  cript.ion
Cle.exe
Des.ico
Same issue if another process creates files etc (see Other example above)

May be introduced with the possibility to maximize 'Find folder' window by pressing F5: FIRST the new directory is listed in the panel and THEN saved the text (and colours) below the Find folder window area is restored, should be the other way round.
