FreeCommander XE Beta 665 Public on Windows 7 SP1 64-bit will become unresponsive under the following reproducible scenario:

1. Install Firefox, run it, and then close it
2. Open FreeCommander XE
3. Enable View->Show->Show hidden files and View->Show->Show system files
4. Navigate to \Users\[username]\AppData (where [username] is your username)
5. Open the Search Files/Folders window
6. In the 'Containing Text' field, type 'testing'
7. Select 'Search in subfolders up to level' (with level of zero for all levels)
8. Select 'Search in archives'
9. Press the 'Find' button

Once FreeCommander XE reaches startupCache.4.little, the Search Files/Folders window will no longer function (including the Cancel button), and you will have to close FreeCommander XE to get that window to close.

Confirmed.

@Marek: if you need the file (archive) startupCache.4.little for testing, I can send it to you.

@joby: Can you reproduce it with the current release? For me it works fine.

@Free4All: in 665 try to deactivate fcZip plugin

I am able to reproduce the bug with build 673 x86 and x64 using default settings. It works fine if I deactivate fcZip.

The bug is present even if there is another zip handler active, Total7zip plugin and disappears if there is no zip handler active in FC settings.

I deactivated the fcZip plugin per your request. The hang no longer occurs. What is the purpose of fcZip plugin and why would a user want it enabled?

In testing, I discovered another issue: When fcZip plugin is disabled, and the 'Search in archives' option is UNCHECKED, FreeCommander XE will still search within at least some archives.

Please describe it (better in a new topic and with archives attached where problem occurs). I'll try to check whether it is present in 673 donor (many problems with search in archives were already fixed)

Ok, I can reproduce it. I had "Archive files filter" in the "Filters" tab set to *.zip.

I'm still able to reproduce this in 681.
