GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 582712
Opening multipart encrypted .7z files does not work (file-roller-created .7z)
Last modified: 2009-06-15 19:08:46 UTC
Please describe the problem: Using file roller, I create a new file.7z archive, setting a password, checking the "encrypt file names too" option, and activating "split in volumes of" say 10MB. File-roller creates the multiple file.7z.00x files, no problem. When I open them double clicking in nautilus on file.7z.001, file-roller without asking the passowrd, shows the "file.7z" archive in its main window, which supposedly contains the un-split but encrypted and compressed original files. Within file-roller window, I double click in "file.7z", then I am prompted for the password, and after entering in correctly I get gnome's "Open Files" dialog that seems to be asking for an application to open the file; I enter /usr/bin/file-roller and click OK and get an error: "Could not open file.7z" "The file does not exist" If instead of double clicking in "file.7z" I drag it to a nautilus window, nothing happens. If I right click on file.7z and select "Extract", file-roller ask me the destination directory and then says "Extraction completed successfully" but it does not extract any file whatsoever. I know the split .7z file generated by file-roller is OK because I can open it with 7zip in windows. Steps to reproduce: 1. create a new file.7z archive, setting a password, checking the "encrypt file names too" option, and activating "split in volumes of" say 10MB. 2. When I open them double clicking in nautilus on file.7z.001, file-roller without asking the passowrd, shows the "file.7z" archive in its main window 3. Within file-roller window, I double click in "file.7z", then I am prompted for the password, and after entering in correctly I get gnome's "Open Files" dialog that seems to be asking for an application to open the file; I enter /usr/bin/file-roller and click OK Actual results: and get an error: "Could not open file.7z" "The file does not exist" Also within file-roller: If I right click on file.7z and select "Extract", file-roller ask me the destination directory and then says "Extraction completed successfully" but it does not extract any file whatsoever. Expected results: I expect my original files to be shown in file-roller's main window, and I expect them to be extracted when I right-click and select "Extract" Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Ubuntu 9.04 / package p7zip-full is installed; non-split encrypted .7z files can be created and opened with no problem.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
