this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/436699 "This happens to me _a lot_. I get some archive from the web, extract it only to find out that file-roller didn't give "read" (and "execute" in case of directories) permision to "group" and "others". Typical scenario (just happened): I download some (compressed) javascript library to include it in my app. I use nautilus to extract its contents. I use the web browser to access those files and I get a "forbidden" code (because files are being accessed by the web server, which is not the owner of those files). Here's the story of one archive extracted by midnight commander and nautilus' file-roller: muszek@bobek:~/www/katarzynamucha/app/webroot/js$ ls -l colorbox-nautilus/ total 280 drwx------ 2 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 colorbox -rw-r--r-- 1 muszek muszek 235313 2009-07-30 22:43 colorbox.ai drwx------ 2 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 content drwx------ 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 example1 drwx------ 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 example2 drwx------ 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 example3 drwx------ 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 example4 drwx------ 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-25 17:33 example5 -rw-r--r-- 1 muszek muszek 14260 2009-09-16 18:49 README muszek@bobek:~/www/katarzynamucha/app/webroot/js$ ls -l colorbox-mc total 280 drwxr-xr-x 2 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-16 17:49 colorbox -rw-r--r-- 1 muszek muszek 235313 2009-07-30 21:43 colorbox.ai drwxr-xr-x 2 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-16 17:52 content drwxr-xr-x 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-16 17:52 example1 drwxr-xr-x 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-08-17 09:00 example2 drwxr-xr-x 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-16 02:01 example3 drwxr-xr-x 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-09-16 17:10 example4 drwxr-xr-x 3 muszek muszek 4096 2009-08-17 09:00 example5 -rw-r--r-- 1 muszek muszek 14260 2009-09-16 17:49 README" "do you get the permission set correctly when extracting using the command line tools directly for the archive format you are using?"

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
