Option to preserve permissions on extraction (28.78 KB, patch)
2009-04-12 22:36 UTC, Gert Kulyk 		none Details | Review

Description Daniel Ruoso 2009-02-18 20:38:44 UTC 
By default, extracting an archive should not preserve the permissions, because that can lead to easy phishing attacks.

A simple "Preserve Permissions" checkbox, unmarked by default, in the "extract" dialog should do the trick. Optionally, a warning could be presented, with the "don't show this message again", when a user extracts with the "preserve permissions" option set.

Option to preserve permissions on extraction

This is a try to cope with it.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
