Description Nicolò Chieffo 2009-03-09 17:04:50 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Currently file-roller does not support corrupted rar archives (for instance an half downloaded file).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Half download a rar file
2. open it with file-roller


Actual results:
file-roller asks to insert a password. no password is needed to extract the real archive

Expected results:
file-roller should just display the part of rar archive that is not corrupted, and show a warning to the user

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
the binary rar supports extracting corrupter archives:
rar x filename
list files also works:
rar l filename
