Dropping multiple files on Keka icon in the Dock produces two archives instead of one

[giftal]

Issue: instead of making 1 archive out of N (N >= 99) dropped files, Keka makes 2 archives: 1st on one of the dropped files, 2nd on - all the other N-1 files.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Place a Keka icon to the Dock (Right click on the icon => "Options" => "Keep in Dock")
2. Exit Keka (Right click on the icon => "Quit")
3. Open Finder and select N >= 99 files. Drag and Drop selected files on Keka icon in the dock.
4. See how Keka starts to create Compressed file.7z and one more archive.
   Expected: only Compressed file.7z created with all N files inside.

I can't reproduce your concrete >=99 case, but I think this must be the same as #57. If you can reproduce it with your >=99 files, please add them to a DMG, zip it and attach it here.

Also take a look at the example on #57, it contains a folder ("Drop whatS inside here") with 2 files and a folder that should give you the same problem you're facing. Let me know if it doesn't.

I'm working on a fix, thoug it is not yet stable: Keka-1.1.0-beta.3r2212.zip

This version is just for testing this issue, don't use it as your stable version.

Hello @aonez ,
I agree this is a duplicate for #57 . Please find my 99 files here: REMOVED
Please kindly say when you download them, I will delete the archive from google drive. Thank you!

You can delete it. Just not tested yet.

I can't reproduce the error compressing your csv files. The reason I've asked you to add them first to a DMG is because then they store al metadata that I think causes the bug.

Can you reproduce the bug with the files inside the one you've sent me? Not the originals, but the ones inside Compressed file_all.7z, after they're extracted? If not, please repack the original files on a DMG and share it with me.

Also, there's some special application you use to open csv files?

Thanks a lot @giftal for your feedback, maybe we can get to a clear point of #57 and this one.

I could not. So yes - you are right, this is likely to be about the metadata.

I have created a DMG image containing 2 files. Please download here: REMOVED (Please, again, kindly say when you download them, I will delete the archive from google drive. Thank you!)
The file with filename starting with "Si-" always gets to be packed separately from all the other files. I have included only 1 additional file - feel free to add your files to my DMG image, feel free to study all about this "Si-" file. Will gladly try to help you further.
Thank you for the Keka app.

You can delete the file 👍
