File Roller extracts to wrong folder
Last modified: 2005-08-18 11:52:47 UTC
Please describe the problem: When selecting a folder to extract an archive to, it extracts to the first child folder of the folder shown in the file browser. Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure you have at least one folder inside your home folder 2. open an archive 3. extract the contents. Double-click on your home folder in the left panel of the dialog. The directory bread-crumbs at the top indicate your home folder. The first item in the folder contents list is highlighted by default. 4. click extract Actual results: The archive is extracted to the first child folder listed in the dialog -- the folder that was highlighted. Expected results: The archive should extract to the home folder Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: This could be a more general problem to do with the mechanism for selecting folders.
This is actually a gtk2 filechooser bug that was fixed in 2.6.8. Patch is available in cvs here: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gtk%2B/gtk/gtkfilechooserdefault.c?r1=1.240.2.15&r2=1.240.2.16
