Description Pedro Villavicencio 2010-06-08 15:38:03 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/591111

"To reproduce:

    ln -s does-not-exist symlink
    file-roller -a symlink.7z symlink

Result: "An error occurred while adding files to the archive. [...] Error: stat error for ./symlink (No such file or directory)"

This is caused by using -l on the 7z command line. While that might be desirable as a checkbox option, I think it should default off, and it definitely shouldn't be hard coded as it is now."

It doesn't crash for me, it just shows an error dialog.
Comment 2 Akhil Laddha 2011-09-30 09:23:56 UTC 
Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in GNOME 3.0.2 or 3.2.0 and update this report by adding a comment and changing the "Version"
field? Thanks a lot.
