Description Pedro Villavicencio 2009-10-06 15:24:58 UTC
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:

"do you get the permission set correctly when extracting using the command line tools directly for the archive format you are using?"

"yes, here's the output:

I'm attaching the archive used in examples, just in case someone wanted to reproduce the bug on his own. It comes from http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/"
Comment 1 André Klapper 2020-11-11 19:12:40 UTC
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).
