Description Damien A. 2014-04-24 18:15:22 UTC
Hey,

A bug I have with file-roller 3.12.1 that I didn't met before.

I've got a mail in thunderbird with an attachment in tar.{bz2|gz}
(let's tell it's archive.tar.bz2)

I open it first and everything is alright: I'm able to see the content of the archive in file-roller.

If I close the windows and I try to open it a second time, all I can see in file-roller is a file called archive.tar-1 that I can't open.

It's seems to me that because Thunderbird write it in /tmp every time I open it:
/tmp/archive.tar.bz2
/tmp/archive.tar-1.bz2

and file-roller have a hard time dealing with tar-1 extension.
Couldn't it rely on magic number before claiming it can't open it ?
I think I'll file a bug to Thunderbird too for wrong renaming double extension file.

Damien

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).
