[Bug 575302] Re: bad behavior when deleting files from encrypted 7-Zip archive

 

As a user (not a developer) I can confirm that this bug still exists in
version Archive Manager 3.10.2.1 - at least on 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04,
though I don't understand why the priority is "low."  I am working on a
textbook for Ubuntu secure workflow and will hope for a pushed-out fix
within 3 to 6 months so I don't have to refer readers to a third-party
application to handle encrypted 7-Zip files.  Thanks for providing the
fix and please let me know how I can monitor its availability to the
rest of the world.

Title:
  bad behavior when deleting files from encrypted 7-Zip archive

Status in File Roller:
  Fix Released
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: file-roller

  If you double-click an encrypted 7-Zip archive, file-roller asks you
  for the password and opens the archive.

  The archive open, you can open the files, you can add more files or
  even whole folders. You can even copy-paste folders from the archive
  to elsewhere inside the same archive.

  However the following operations lead to unexpected behavior:

  - delete file/folder
  prompts again for the password, then opens another file-roller window, which promps for the password on further time, and no change in the archive

  - cut-paste inside the archive
  prompts the password in loop, until you click cancel

  - rename file/folder
  "An error occurred while adding files to the archive."
