Bug ID: 442414
Summary: Ark can't recognize archive with special name
Product: ark
Version: 21.08.1
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: rdp65...@gmail.com
CC: aa...@kde.org, rthoms...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Compressing a folder which name is end with two or more dots causes Ark cannot
recognize correctly when decompressing it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create a folder which name is "a..."
2. create a text file in that folder (if it is an empty folder then the problem
wont happens)
3. compress the folder into tar with Ark
4. double click the a...tar, open with Ark
5. Ark shows the compressed file is broken (error msg: Could not load the
archive because it contains ill-formed entries and might be a malicious
archive.)
OBSERVED RESULT
1. The tar archive was not broken actually, using command "tar -xf a...tar" in
command line decompress the archive successfully, without error.
2. If the folder name was ending with one dot, like "a.", then ark can work
normally. Error occurs when there are more than two dots.
3. zip, 7z and tar format all have the same problem
4. The archive should named as "a....tar" (four dots), but it is "a...tar"
(three dots). I don't know if this is the reason.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ark should recognize the archive normally and be able to decompress it.
