Sally 1.0.30

Sally 1.0.30 fixes executable icons that flickered to the generic icon, and RAR archive dates shown as 1.1.1980 when browsing through the external RAR archiver.

Fixes

• Fixed executable icons that switched to the generic executable icon while the panel repainted — after sorting, refreshing, or moving around the panel (#115). Since 1.0.27, the icon-cache lookup compared a few bytes past the end of the file name, so files whose names have an even number of characters (such as Inc_Update.exe) could miss their cached icon at random. Only some files were affected, which is why the icons came and went.
• Fixed RAR archives browsed through the external RAR archiver reporting "The file date and/or time reported by archiver is invalid" and listing every file as 1.1.1980 (#114). RAR 7 prints dates as YYYY-MM-DD; Sally now reads that form as well as the older day-first form.

Opening RAR archives normally goes through the built-in UnRAR plugin, which never had the date problem. If Sally asks you to run Archivers Autoconfiguration to open a .rar, check that UnRAR is listed in Plugins → Plugins Manager.

Thanks to @xmiseggs for the clear before-and-after screenshots of the icon change, and to @vectorrilke for the detailed RAR report.

Downloads

Portable builds are provided for x64, x86, and ARM64. A consolidated PDB archive and SHA-256 checksum manifest are also attached.

Validation

• Public Release CI passed for x64, x86, and ARM64: https://github.com/0xeb/sally/actions/runs/37246032537
• All three packaged runtimes passed release-artifact verification with 11/11 language packs and zero warnings, and contain the same file set as 1.0.29.
• The icon fix was checked in a clean Windows Sandbox on the released x64 package: re-sorting a folder of executables produced no icon changes, against 22 on 1.0.29.
• The RAR date fix was checked on the released x64 package against RAR 7.13: archive members show their real dates, while 1.0.29 still reports the date error.
• Microsoft Defender reported zero detections across the final ZIP packages and extracted trees on the release machine.
