Description P Jones 2021-05-03 18:11:22 UTC
Description of problem: GNOME Files (Nautilus) will fail to extract files from archives (zip, gz) if an exclamation point is in the name of the archive. For example, extracting test!file.zip from GNOME Files (Nautilus) will result in an empty folder.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 40.0-1.fc34


How reproducible: Click on an archive file (zip, gz) in GNOME Files (Nautilus) with an exclamation point in the name (for example, test!file.zip), the result will be an empty folder.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results: An empty folder with no files extracted from the archive file.


Expected results: Click on archive file with any acceptable filename and get a folder with all the archive contents.

Comment 1 P Jones 2021-05-10 14:41:45 UTC
This report is incorrect and should be ignored. The actual problem is that nautilus fails to extract a gzipped or zipped file to a file, it creates an empty folder instead. If file-roller is installed, which it isn't by default, then the file can be viewed and extracted. I'll file a report for that if one doesn't exist already.

It has been already reported upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-autoar/-/issues/28.
