Can't open file inside a .rar archive (with unar)
Last modified: 2012-08-06 15:39:14 UTC
Get a .rar file with at least two files in it. Then open the file with file-roller. Double click on one file. The expected behavior is that the file is opened with the corresponding application. Instead a dialog showing "Select an application to open <file>" is shown. When I select gedit, an empty ~/.cache/.hashsum/<file> is displayed. ~/.cache/.hashsum/<file> does not exist, but ~/.cache/.hashsum/test/<file> exists. -D should be passed to unar in this case to avoid creating a directory.
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
