GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 347019
incorrect error message shown when trying to open incomplete archive
Last modified: 2006-10-23 20:11:27 UTC
Please describe the problem: When I open an RAR archive which has not been completely downloaded, file-roller is able to show me the file list. However, when I try to open a file within the archive, I get a message that the password is wrong, and need to set it via "Edit -> Password". Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a RAR archive which has not been fully downloaded. 2. Try to open a file in the archive which is incomplete. 3. Actual results: A message asking me to set the password is shown. Expected results: Either the message needs to be changed to something like "Could not extract this file" with a few possible reasons (file password protected, corrupt archive) OR corrupt archives should not be loaded at all Does this happen every time? yes Other information: The error handling for extracting a file probably does not parse the exact error message thrown, and just reports a common problem for all situations.
fixed in current CVS.
