Description George Buffer 2013-07-01 21:11:54 UTC 
File-Roller throws an error when you attempt to copy a file into a zip archive.

1)Create a zip archive with content in it.
2)Open zip archive in file-roller
3)Drag any file from file manager and drop into file-roller
4)A message pops up: "An error occured when adding a file to the archive"

Noticed this bug on Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 Alpha. The bug is also present in Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10 and Fedora 17,18.

This bug is seen only when you try to add files to a subfolder within the archive.

This problem has been fixed in our software repository. The fix will go into the next software release. Thank you for your bug report.
