WinMount, still sucks

压缩软件历史悠久，当年PKZIP/PKUNZIP大行其道，ARJ横空出世，到后来的RAR异军突起，更不用说小巧玲珑的AIN，在小岛上苟活的LHA。现在的选择就更多了，WinRAR是当然的王者，7-ZIP以免费好用的姿态跃跃欲试，本来以为已经死透了的WinZIP居然又活过来了，还有PowerArchiver、WinACE之类的在一边。

WinMount是什么？一个在正式发布之前就给人遐想的软件，一个对国内用户永久免费的软件，一个号称要让你安装之后就一心一意的软件，一个宣扬以”优秀的技术后台直接加载ZIP/RAR并且动态解压”的软件。

因为开发者说的这些特色，让人无可奈何的对它望眼欲穿，等到第一个版本发布，下载回来一执行，Yeah，这是什么啊都……简陋的界面（或者说朴实？），少的可怜的选项（或者说没有？），超强的不稳定性（随时做好死掉的准备），可怕的低效率（一个10M的RAR文件等了3分钟还没加载好），这东西能用么？

OK，很多成功的软件的第一个版本总是不稳定不成熟不完美的。几个月过去，WinMount的版本号也慢慢的爬到了1.7，今天正好看到有人问什么软件能直接看一堆RAR里面分卷压缩的电影，我回答”传说中WinMount可以”之后，心血来潮就又去它的主页看了一下，并且下载了再次试用，结果就如同标题所言，WinMount still sucks.

具体过程如下：

  1. 最新中文版本1.7，大小2021KB，2007-06-01发布；
  2. 下载顺利，安装过程没死机……；
  3. 极其标准的安装界面和流程，最后会要求安装一个未经数字签名的驱动（但是居然在其中的一台测试机上没有出现，安装完成后查看设备管理器也没有）；
  4. 可选择关联ZIP/RAR文件；
  5. 随便挑了个小ZIP，右键，WinMount，Mount至新驱动器；
  6. 出现发现新硬件，USB Mass Storage；
  7. “正在创建逻辑驱动器，请等待”，嗯……等，我等，我等等等，1分钟过去了，老大，这是一个30K的ZIP；
  8. 任务管理器关之，手动打开WinMount，里面已经有个虚拟的E存在了，但是实际的在哪里，找不到；
  9. 再选其他的ZIP/RAR加载，飞快，但是Mount到哪里去了呢？
  10. 过了很久，有反应了
  11. 不能用，那我UnMount吧
  12. 原来都有反应的
  13. 可能中文版有问题？下载个英文的试试看，居然是Trial，呵呵，果然面向国内用户免费；
  14. 复现了前面的所有错误；
  15. 我继续UnMount，点……死了

测试到此结束，我没有勇气继续了。其实我真的没有对WinMount有太高的希望，哪怕你效率低速度慢，但是至少要做一个能勉强用的软件吧。遗憾的是，就连这个最基本的要求都只能无奈的sigh一下。

为了避免个例，我在两台不同的机器上测试，都是几乎干净的系统，一XP，一2K3。

翻了一下newsmth以前的讨论。不得不说两位朋友还是相当的有预见性的

下面是WinMount官方页面的口号，嗯，有点讽刺啊。居然说自己是好评如潮，看了一下，几乎全是广告文章，或者处于同一人的评测。

本文仅代表个人条件下的不成熟测试，等到有3.0版本出现，我可能会再来试试看的……

Upgrade WP to 2.2.1

升级完了TC，正好看到WP也做了一个小版本的更新，修复了一些安全方面的问题：

顺手更新之，现在已经是2.2.1了，似乎还没有任何问题，呵呵。


升级还是比较方便的，因为自己修改的大部分内容，都是themes下面的，跟升级文件无关，当然也有例外，比如这次升级就包含functions.php，如果自己改过的话，注意一下。

小版本的更新，是不涉及到数据库的改动的，所以不需要执行upgrade.php。


附，本次升级的变动文件，可以只覆盖这些（我用TC导入文件名然后拷贝）：

/wp-includes/post-template.php
/wp-includes/bookmark.php
/wp-includes/link-template.php
/wp-includes/formatting.php
/wp-includes/author-template.php
/wp-includes/category.php
/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php
/wp-includes/post.php

/wp-includes/js/wp-ajax.js
/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/color_picker.htm
/wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/images/colors.jpg

/wp-includes/general-template.php
/wp-includes/classes.php
/wp-includes/comment.php

Upgrade TC to 7.01

这次算是跟随软件更新最快的一次，呵呵，一大清早的看到newsmth的tc版上有人说7.01出来了，马上到官方站点下载更新，一分钟搞定。

比起7.0final，这个0.01也说明了只是一些bugfix，不会有太多的实质更新（不然的话就叫7.1了）。不过对于部分追求完美的朋友来说（看到好多人说什么7.01不出就不升级，呵呵），终于可以行动了。

TC我是买的正版，所以不要问我怎么破解，作者也确实算厚道的，只要愿意点一下，可以一直用下去的。

看看我的about，按照#后面的数字，将近15w个人许可，34美元……哇！就算有很多是折扣，但是单位采购（估计也会有）也没有计算在内，反正作者肯定是靠这个软件足可以生活得很好了。

附，从7.0final到7.01final的update list：

21.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.01 final

21.06.07 Fixed: Shift+F4: When user leaves name field empty, start editor without name

21.06.07 Fixed: RAR multi-volume: Pass multi-volume size in bytes by appending ‘b’ to the number

 

20.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.01 final pre 2

20.06.07 Fixed: When using the option ThreadFindFirst=1, switching to a network share via Ctrl+D could show the progress dialog twice

 

20.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.01 final pre 1

20.06.07 Fixed: Access violation after switching to tree view, then opening drive combobox in SAME panel and pressing ENTER without choosing any drive

20.06.07 Added: wincmd.ini [Configuration] CDlabel=0 turns off the display of CD labels (and other removable drives) in Alt+F1/F2 and the drive buttonbar. Reason: Some CD drives take several seconds to return the labels

19.06.07 Fixed: Lister plugins no longer worked when iviewadditionaltypes was missing from wincmd.ini

19.06.07 Fixed: Lister: Select last word of a line with double click, then click somewhere else -> text cursor remained (non-blinking) at old position

19.06.07 Fixed: Search function, feed to listbox: If the previous view was a custom columns view sorted by a user-defined column, re-sort the result list to match that sort order

19.06.07 Fixed: Access violation in compare by contents editor when deleting text from Unicode files. The delete section must end at the beginning of a line to get the error

19.06.07 Fixed: Copy progress dialog: When copying a file with very long name to the root of a network share, the name was incorrectly shortened (the \ was forgotten after the share name)

19.06.07 Added: Allow user to replace also mouse cursors (e.g. for drag&drop) via iconlib entry in wincmd.ini (the same file which contains different file list icons)

19.06.07 Fixed: FTP download from list crashes on very long URLs

 

18.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.01 beta 3

18.06.07 Fixed: Multi-rename tool didn’t keep custom sort order of main panel where the files were selected

18.06.07 Fixed: External packers not working if the TEMP/TMP variable points to a path with spaces in the name -> put path in double quotes (will only work with packer supporting long names like WinRAR)

18.06.07 Fixed: Compare by content: using the scroll wheel at the end of the files could show lines out of sync if only one panel had a horizontal scrollbar

18.06.07 Fixed: Switching from 1 to 2 separate trees while in right file panel -> the left tree still showed the directory of the right panel

18.06.07 Fixed: 1 separate tree: When both command line and function key bar are turned off, make separate tree 2 pixels less high to make scrolling during drag&drop easier

17.06.07 Fixed: Switch from custom view with horizonal scrollbar to thumbs view and back with the thumbs view button didn’t restore the scrollbar

17.06.07 Fixed: Encrypted ZIP file created with replacement wcmzip32.dll directly on floppy disk could only be unpacked with Total Commander due to bad header

17.06.07 Fixed: Additional checks to ftp client to avoid that resume starts again from the beginning of a file

15.06.07 Fixed: ARJ unpacker couldn’t unpack ARJ files with extended header, e.g. from Linux packed with -2o* parameter

15.06.07 Fixed: Search on FTP: Progress dialog would stay on screen if connection was lost during normal search (not for text)

15.06.07 Fixed: Shift+Enter on EXE files inside of archives no longer worked (it should open the program via NOCLOSE.PIF)

15.06.07 Fixed: Show menu below button, not at the mouse position also in dialog “Custom columns” and “Custom fields by file type”

15.06.07 Fixed: cm_CopySrc/TrgPathToClip now copies the true network name instead of the display name on WinXP

14.06.07 Fixed: Copy function, overwrite dialog: Option to (auto-)rename target was missing when using the compatibility mode for copying

14.06.07 Fixed: Change to network drives via directory hotlist (ctrl+d) fails for some pseudo network drives (e.g. third party sftp mounted as drive)

 

13.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.01 beta 2

13.06.07 Fixed: Going up one level from an UNC server on XP placed the cursor on [..] instead of the previously active server name (because the name in the title was different from the name in the list)

13.06.07 Fixed: Footer below file panel could shortly appear in a wrong color when the quick search dialog is turned off

13.06.07 Fixed: RedirectSection=0 in section [Extensions] would show up in viewer association dialog

13.06.07 Fixed: Separate tree panel didn’t auto-scroll when dragging file over it (drag&drop)

13.06.07 Fixed: Windows XP: cm_EditPath with network computers edited the wrong name (the display name). Same problem with Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+Enter or cm_copyfullnamestoclip

13.06.07 Fixed: FTP: Temporary file downloaded for editing was deleted even if it was changed and couldn’t be re-uploaded

13.06.07 Fixed: Ctrl+PageDown not working on Archive with Unicode name (Enter works)

13.06.07 Fixed: Search text in lister: search whole words worked differently forwards and backwards (’_’ is now considered as part of name, not word separator)

13.06.07 Fixed: Drag&Drop to unopened TAR archive was not working

13.06.07 Fixed: Search on FTP: Detect whether connection was lost when trying to view a file with F3

13.06.07 Fixed: Duplicating a folder tab via right click menu gave the wrong tab title when the original tab was locked with dir changes allowed

13.06.07 Fixed: Search function, search contents: Remember trailing spaces in search string

13.06.07 Fixed: Quick search in separate tree: scroll item into view so at least 3 lines remain before the end of the list

13.06.07 Fixed: Autocomplete in start menu editor only listed folders, no files

13.06.07 Fixed: Configuration-Options-Thumbnails, click on “Add” button: Show menu below button, not at the mouse position

13.06.07 Fixed: Change attributes, click on “+”: Show menu below button, not at the mouse position

13.06.07 Fixed: Lister: IviewAdditionalTypes takes precedence over internal image checks, e.g. when *.jpg is part of it, TC will not check whether the file has the correct jpg header

13.06.07 Fixed: Archives in archives: Allow to open multiple inner archives with the same name at the same time (unpack temporarily to _tc, _tc0, _tc1 etc.)

13.06.07 Fixed: FTP toolbar had no frame around it on XP with turned off themes

13.06.07 Fixed: ESC after cm_EditPath didn’t place cursor back in file list -> post cm_focusleft/right to main window

13.06.07 Fixed: Wrong error message “Directory already exists” when trying to create a directory containing * or ? in the name

13.06.07 Fixed: Invisible tray icon if iconlib= points to 16-bit DLL on Vista, or to a file other than dll/exe on all Windows versions -> use icon from totalcmd.exe

13.06.07 Fixed: Auto-complete: Entering an UNC path like \\server\ suggested paths with two backslashes after the server name

 

11.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.0a

11.06.07 Fixed: FTP client hangs when trying to auto-reconnect before a download, and the server has been turned off

 

10.06.07 Release Total Commander 7.01 beta 1

10.06.07 Fixed: External compare tool: No parameters allowed. Solution: Put program in double quotes “” even if there are no spaces in the name, to avoid that TC adds double quotes by itself

10.06.07 Fixed: Do not show any tooltip window for the updir [..] file list item

10.06.07 Fixed: FTP client hangs after reconnect when trying to download a file when the server has terminated the connection

10.06.07 Fixed: Creation/Renaming of directories not logged correctly and not stored correctly in treeinfo.wc file in some cases
