Unwanted behavior of File-Roller on reconstructing directories
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Scenario: I am opening a compressed file and I navigate through it with FileRoller to let's say, /usr/X11R6/libs/folder1/folder2. I am currently on Folder1 and I have selected Folder2. I want to extract Folder2. What FileRoller does is to extract the whole path of the folders before it. What I want is to extract the Folder2 as /folder2 without all its previous path. That's how WinZip does it and it is very convenient for me to be able to isolate and extract specific folders on my desktop without having to deal with their whole path. Winzip only extracts the folder you dragged n dropped on your desktop and I think that's the best way of doing it.
fixed now, thank you.
