Public bug reported: Ive been using FR for many years it gets totally out of sync when there are several thousand files. This has been reported as a bug by many others as well.
Today I selected dropbox folder and tried running FR in bash but there were no error report, the messagebox showed compressing 13,500 files then crash after a minute. However if I use bash command: alistair@alsE590:~/Dropbox$ arj a -r myfiles.arj * arc is created properly.
