Progress bars
-
btw, it is upper progress that does not get intialized, lower should work fine (full progress)… it is actually quite an timesaver ;-)

The issue is with the lower bar…the upper one is so quick anyway. Win 7 32-bit.
I’ll try to explain better. When the completed % shows 100%, the lower bar is never to the right fully. The smaller the archive the further to the left it is @ 100%. I have seen 100% when the lower bar is only 1/3 the way across. The mostI have seen is about 80% of the way across.
When I initially saw this, I had to check that the archive had been extracted completely and without mistakes!
I am extracting the files by right-clicking and then clicking extracting to <folder name=“”>.

and i cant get it to show 75% ;-)… it always goes to 100%. It probably has to do with file contents of the archive or something more specific about the archive. Try to see what exactly causes it!

It happens with every archive I try. Either a single archive or a multi-part archive. As it happens all the time I will not be able to track it down. I could try it on another PC or another OS if you think it would help.
It never reaches 100%. A multi-part archive of a 700MB file takes it to about 95%+ and with a single archive of 7MB it only gets a third of the way. The text which shows % completed is accurate.

hm, does it show less progress on smaller archives? I think this might be due to the animation of progress bar being slower than actual progress. You will not be able to see progress going from 0 to 100 when it happens in 3 seconds for instance. Same goes for any of big jumps, if progress actually jumps from 95 to 100 in 1 seconds, it will be gone before actual animation manages to make the jump. At least thats what i am seeing here, it might not be the same thing you got?
Seems to be related to animated progress bar in aero… if you set windows classic theme, it will go all the way up properly, probably because it is not animated…

maybe these examples will help demonstrate…
test one is a small compressed file and displays the point drteeth is talking about I think.
the second example is a larger compressed file but it works fine…so it would seem it only occurs on small zip files.

http://www.zshare.net/download/695440365382fff7/yes, it is due to Windows progress bar animation being too slow for very fast progress… trying using windows classic theme and it works “better” but sure does look ugly eh :-).
We use standard windows progress bar API… and we send it percentages you see written above the progress bar.

Spot on with the animated bar diagnosis.

if thats the biggest problem win7 has, they are on the roll :-)

Apparently, the animated hourglass in the released version is missing a frame (shock, horror) and hacks exist to transfer the full animation from the released RC versions.
Seriously, OT - I think I have discovered a bug where Win7 misreads NIC MAC addresses.
With best wishes…
