PROBLEM
When re-importing items from another archive store (for example .BIX-files from a binary folder via copybix.exe or movebix.exe), the import process seems to hang and the folder ..\GFI\Archiver\MAIS\Pickup holds one or more files with the extensions [.CORRUPTED / .Q / .BIN] for a longer period of time.The debug log BixPlugin.log lists the following:
2012-05-08,04:49:41,601,1,"#0000048C","#00000012","info ","BixPlugin","Processing..."
2012-05-08,04:49:41,603,1,"#0000048C","#00000012","warning","BixPlugin","warning: Process() - Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
or
2013-01-21,12:02:26,665,1,"#000007D0","#00000012","error ","BixPlugin","error: Failed to process Pickup\-2144493107.bin - The CRC in GZip footer does not match the CRC calculated from the decompressed data."

ENVIRONMENT
- GFI Archiver
- Reimporting items from another archive store (for example via copybix/movebix)
SOLUTION
- Open the folder ..\GFI\Archiver\MAIS\Pickup and make sure the file listing is sorted by name
- Create a subfolder named Backup
- Move any .CORRUPTED files into the Backup subfolder
- Move the topmost .Q file (and its corresponding .BIX and/or .BIN file) into the Backup subfolder
- Wait and observe if processing continues
- Repeat above steps if necessary until processing continues
CAUSE
The source files are corrupt.
