Empty directories are ignored
Last modified: 2005-02-10 20:16:54 UTC
Please describe the problem: Empty directories in zipfiles or tarballs are ignored. I can't find a preference to disable this. When extracting the file, file-roller seems to call unzip to unzip the whole file and then the empty directories are recreated. With drag&drop however, empty directories get lost Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a zip or .tar.gz file with empty directories inside it 2. Open it Actual results: Directories are missing. Empty directories containing empty directories are empty too. Expected results: Empty directories should be shown, no matter the contents of them. Does this happen every time? yes Other information: Happens to 2.6.x, 2.8.x and maybe on 2.9.x, The changelogs don't say much about this issue, so I think it's still unsolved in the upcoming 2.10
