Description bugzilla 2011-06-01 08:39:10 UTC
Description of problem:

when using seahorse from nautilus to encrypt multiple files, the filetype dropdown is disabled and the error is not handled well.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

seahorse-plugins-2.91.6-0.1.git1e35fd9.fc15 and seahorse-3.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. encrypt multiple files from nautilus context menu

Actual results:

it simply does not work, the dropdown is not clickable (and seems empty).

if you try to workaround it by putting .zip or .tar on the end of the package name, it fails with:

Could not create the archive. Archive type not supported.

and then tries to encrypt it anyway and fails with:

Error stating file '/var/tmp/test.tar(null)': No such file or directory

Expected results:

a working dropdown with various archive types such as tar.bz2 and zip, which would then create a zip.pgp file containing multiple encrypted and compressed files.

Additional info:

Comment 1 bugzilla 2011-06-01 09:10:21 UTC
/usr/share/seahorse-plugins/ui/seahorse-multi-encrypt.xml

if I change this line:

<object class="GtkComboBox" id="package-extension">

to:

<object class="GtkComboBoxText" id="package-extension">

I can get the drop-down list to activate and populate, however if i select .zip for example, i still get the (null) archive type not supported errors, as if the selected value isn't getting passed as an argument.

Still happens on Fedora 16 with:

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:10:04 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
