Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.16.3-1.fc6 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Double click on zip archive. 2. Empty directories do not show. 3. Unpack, but dragging top level directory, and empty directories are not created. Actual results: Empty directories do not show in GUI, and are not unpacked and created even though they are in the archive. Expected results: Empty directories should show up in the zip archive, and should be created when the archive is extracted. Additional info: You can see this behavior with the jboss-4.2.0.CR2.zip file download from Sourceforge. The jboss-4.2.0.CR2/server/minimal directory contains a deploy directory that is empty. You can see this if you use unzip -l from the command-line. This empty directory does not show up in file-roller, and does not extract using file-roller.
This was reported upstream as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162792 and was fixed in the 2.17 branch. This fix is a rather large one and is unlikely to be backported to 2.16 which FC6 ships, but will be fixed in 2.18.x which is available in the latest FC7 test releases and will be in for FC7 when it's released.
Okay, thanks. As far as I'm concerned you can close this, if you prefer. Thanks again.

This issue was fixed in later Fedora releases. Empty diretories do unzip properly from file-roller. You can close this issue.
Thank you for your update.
