Lots of fixes, we become closer to release

arc1.arc updated:

• create tempfiles in subdirs of %TEMP
• Settings: temporary files directory
• New option --create-in-workdir
• Don't close program on Exit if (de)compression operation is still performed
• ArcInfo: Show solid blocks list (like "lt" command)
• added option "Keep window on top" to progress indicator
• Fixed: Move command should delete read-only dirs
• Fixed: -dp option checks existence of wrong directory

Included All2Arc v0.52 2009-08-15:

• Cancel all operations after any of external programs fails
• For temporary files use directory obtained from TEMP environment variable

arc1.arc and arc-linux.arc updated:

• Detach button in Add/Extract dialogs for running command as separate FreeArc instance
• Move command now deletes read-only files
• Fixed bug: Hang up after cancelling operation in non-FileManager mode
• up-to-date Linux executables

Support for non-solid external compression

arc1.arc updated:

• added translation support for 40+ strings. dear translators, please update your files
• arc.ini: adding "solid=0" to external compressor definition forces FreeArc to create separate solid block for every file compressed by this method (or by chain starting with this compression method):

[External compressor:jpg]
mem = 10
packcmd = timer packjpg $$arcdatafile$$.jpg
unpackcmd = timer packjpg $$arcdatafile$$.pjg
datafile = $$arcdatafile$$.jpg
packedfile = $$arcdatafile$$.pjg
solid = 0

Improved arc.groups processing

arc1.arc updated:

• line "$precomp $compressed" in arc.group now denote $precomp if such group presents in current compression method and $compressed otherwise

This allows fine-grain definition of compression groups, for example:

$precomp
*.pdf
$precomp $compressed
*.zip
*.jpg
$compressed
*.arc

files in second group will be included in group $compressed in -m4 compression mode, but in $precomp in -max compression mode

Lot of small cleanup changes

arc1.arc updated:

• GUI: after operation was completed, Cancel becomes the default key in progress dialog so you can close it by pressing just Enter/Space
• fixed bug in dict (addressing memory beyond end of buffer) and a few UI problems
• included latest InnoSetup scripts & dll
• Added license info to About and console help
• facompress.dll: now loaded only from directory where FreeArc executable resides since loading something from PATH may lead to FreeArc versions incompatibility
• LZMA: decompressor now writes data in 8mb chunks (instead of dictsize) that means smoother progress indicator
• error messages: now reports "read error" or "write error" instead of "i/o error"
