GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 152920
Cannot open gnome-vfs URIs
Last modified: 2007-07-15 14:17:39 UTC
Distribution: Debian testing/unstable Package: file-roller Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.6.1 2.6.x Gnome-Distributor: Debian Synopsis: Cannot open gnome-vfs URIs Bugzilla-Product: file-roller Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 2.6.x Description: Description of Problem: I click on an archive in a nautilus window displaying an smb:/ location. Nautilus launches file-roller (I'm reporting about 2.8.0, not 2.6.x, BTW. Bugzilla is not yet up-to-date, as it seems.) File-roller says: "Unable to open foobar. File does not exist" Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Visit any gnome VFS URI in nautilus 2. Click an Archive 3. See what happens Actual Results: File-roller obvious still isn't hooked up to Gnome-VFS, which surprises me heavily. It's a core app that many people use every day. Gnome VFS support is a MUST. Expected Results: The archive should be handled transparently. This is what Gnome-VFS is for. How often does this happen? Always. Additional Information: ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2004-09-17 11:25 ------- Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other". Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "file-roller". Setting to default milestone for this product, '---' Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.

still here with 2.9
Same in 2.10
Confirmed reproducible with 2.16.1.
The summary of this bug could be renamed to "Add gnome-vfs support to file-roller" and priority set to "Enhancement", I also think this is an important feature. This would extend what I'm implementing in bug 377157 to remote folders so you could drag some files from a nautilus ftp folder and drop them onto a tar.gz file on your Desktop and vice versa.

In other words, there should be a single API provided by gnome for writing gnome apps that will give one access to both "real" and vfs resources.
gThumb has the same problem: bug 143197.
Can someone please confirm if this has been resolved in File Roller 2.19.1? According to this Ubuntu bug report, it has: https://bugs.launchpad.net/fileroller/+bug/36498
yes, gnome-vfs support is present since version 2.19.1
