Typing in a chained URI for tar or other archive formats in nautilus should work
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Make sure that when you type a chained URI pointing inside an archive, nautilus can display the contents properly, either directories or individual files. ------- Additional Comments From mjs@noisehavoc.org 2000-06-20 15:42:14 ---- Moving to post-1.0, per Bud and Andy's request. ------- Additional Comments From yakk@yakk.net 2000-07-11 11:44:53 ---- It has been fixed and tested for tar and zip. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-10-16 19:31:05 ---- Batch-assigning QA ownership of remaining bugs to eli@eazel.com ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:33 ------- Bug blocks bug(s) 40289.
This never really worked well or was tested well...
Chained archive URI's do not work (for me, at least). This bug has regressed, and should be reopened. Unfortunately, it looks like I don't have the ability to do that. :-( Given, for example, a tar archive /var/tmp/archive.tar, Nautilus doesn't like any of the following: /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar/ /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar: /var/tmp/archive.tar#tar:/ file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar/ file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar: file:/var/tmp/archive.tar#tar:/ All eight yield a "Can't Display Location" dialog. The first four report "Couldn't find <location-I-tried-to-use>. Please check the spelling and try again." The last four report "Nautilus has no installed viewer capable of displaying <location-I-tried-to-use>." zip and gzip give similar results. I'm using: gnome-vfs-1.0.4-ximian.4 nautilus-1.0.6-ximian.4 Red Hat Linux 7.2 with Ximian GNOME Sigh. This stackable abstract filesystems thing could be *so* cool, if only it worked. :(
Prioritizing bugs, marking this "enhancement" and "future".
