WinRAR - What's new in the latest version
Version 7.11
1. If "Add to archive..." Explorer context menu command is applied to
multiple archives in the disk root, for example, d:\arc1.rar
and d:\arc2.rar, WinRAR will propose arc1_rar.rar default name
for a new archive. Previous version proposed arc1.rar, updating one
of selected archives instead of creating a new one.
2. Bugs fixed:
a) WinRAR 7.10 failed to update solid archives containing a folder
record placed before a file record. It issued the checksum error
message and aborted processing.
As a result of this fix, this version preserves the original position
of such folders after updating and doesn't move them to the end
of archive as WinRAR 7.10 did;
b) when extracting a file from CAB archive over an existing file,
existing files were overwritten, but not truncated.
So if existing file was larger than extracted, existing file data
had been left at the end of the extracted file;
c) if SFX module from "Advanced SFX options" dialog was stored
in the compression profile, it was applied as is, even if archive
format was changed after selecting the profile. It could result
in SFX module mismatching the archive format;
d) choosing a value in bytes from drop down list associated
with archive dialog "Split to volumes, size" field didn't set
units to bytes automatically;
e) if SFX "TextDone" command was used together with "Silent"
and "TempMode" commands, the completion message was sometimes
displayed behind other opened windows;
f) if symlink pointing at an executable was started from WinRAR shell,
the executable Mark of the Web data was ignored. We are thankful
to Shimamine Taihei of Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc
for reporting this issue.
