File will not extract, takes forever to finish.

This file will not extract: http://www.dsp4swls.de/download/sodiraSDR_wavefiles.zip
I think it’s slightly corrupt so PowerArchiver should show an error message but instead it just sits there forever doing nothing.

Later edit: I should add I am using PA 19.00.59.

7zip says the file is corrupt. But somehow PA cant handle the error.

@Brian-Gregory is this ok in .28? thanks!

No, It still seems to just freeze using no CPU and doing nothing when it comes to the error.

Later: What’s supposed to happen? Could it be a Windows 7 only problem?

spwolf · Mar 23, 2020, 10:53 PM

@Brian-Gregory no, i think it got lost while we were closing issues with PA 2021. I bumped it up. Thanks!

Seems to be fixed in PA 2021 20.00.32.
