Can't extract directories containing [ and ] in File Roller
Last modified: 2008-12-31 11:16:36 UTC
From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/312253 "I have a .zip file. When I try to extract a directory called "moo[AB]", it fails and I get an error. "An error occurred while extracting files. (null) caution: filename not matched: #1/moo[AB]/ caution: filename not matched: #1/moo[AB]/01.jpg caution: filename not matched: #1/moo[AB]/02.jpg" Directories without the characters [ and ] works fine extracting. The archive works fine extracting in other software such as 7-Zip in Wine." You can reproduce it with this archive: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20814079/lol.zip Thanks
