@j2969719 , what is this MultiArc that you keep updating files for?

https://doublecmd.github.io/doc/en/multiarc.html

Small note: the help files mention the ability to import/export settings, but without much detail (I don't know what could be added there).

@j2969719 are you sure that forcing the AutoConfigure function is a good idea? If user is in the process of configuring several archivers, this can be inconvenient.

Perhaps it would be better to make changes in the multiarc.ini file as a separate PR?

autoconfig(search for an executable and disabling an addon if the executable is not found) will be forced when, for example, the config reports that it is saved under win, and the dc version is for linux, or when something was added/changed in default/multiarc.ini (in this case, existing default sections will be overwritten and backup copy will also be created).

people are already starting to ask why im so obsessed with this multiarc thing and updating the default config with this patch implies a version bump in umultiarc.pas anyway

I meant that AutoConfigure will process ALL archivers, not just the one being added in this moment :)

welp thats kind of the point of it. i mean to enable those that are currently available and disable those that are not, since user could have installed/removed some archivers since the last autoconf, but didnt touch this settings in dc, or doesnt know anything about them at all. and for those who tinker with these settings there will be a backup copy

So this is all about the config stored in the file \settings\multiarc.ini?

@j2969719, this is a global function, i.e. it will enable what I have disabled and disable what I have not finished with yet :)

@ags1234, yes, about configure external archivers.

erm, do you assign executables at the very end?o_O version bump for multiarc will most likely occur even less often than for shortcuts.scf anyway

think this will be the least of the problems, because if eg some additional extensions were registered in 7z (ro), you will still have to merge the config anyway

can someone clone and look at the ace addon? github diff seems to show two spaces before n+, but on my end this line seems to be the same length as the current one o_O

erm

This function does more than it is required to do in this case.

github diff seems to show two spaces before n+

Maybe there is a problem with fonts or rendering? I tried looking in GitExtensions, the line lengths are the same there.

after #1669 i think on the contrary that autoconfigure is too little in this life because the user can install the archiver whenever he wants and ideally it should just work. while tinkers should bear their burden with dignity [and pain]
