UE Quits before finishing all tasks

Post by t-water »

This has been happening in the last couple of versions. I mark a RAR file for download and select "finish all tasks and exit" from the menu. It will download all the headers and then exits without Unraring the file. I start UE again and it will immediately start to unrar.

This use to work fine, What am I missing?

Maybe I didn't check that option against the asynchronous unpack, if so, it was like that since May then.

But this is so insignificant, since the option is rarely used.

The effect would be the same as if to close the program while unpack tasks are still running and the tasks themselves are not lost.

I'll try check it tomorrow.

The problem was exactly as described above, I forgot to adjust that option when adding asynchronous unpack.

I've added 3 lines of code to prevent the program from exit when asynchronous unpack is running and because Microsoft changed something and Defender doesn't bog me any more with PUA submissions I've recompiled and replaced the release executables.

So you can just download the current version. Click help menu->about while holding the Ctrl key and you should see v7.0b. Check that the option works now correctly.

Interesting that even the finish all tasks and shutdown Windows option works as it is and doesn't require elevating the application permission level, so there is nothing more to do in that regard.

Yes it works perfectly now. Thank you for the quick turn around and fix!
