Hello, If someone tries to view,extract,edit,etc a file from a password protected zip archive with MC the program will hang badly. MC doesnt hang actually but is waiting for unzip which waits the user to enter a password. I assume that this problem is also there for other archive formats which support password protection.
I've checked the zipinfo manual page and there is an easy way to find out if an archive is encrypted or not: The fifth field consists of two characters, either of which may take on several values. The first character may be either `t' or `b', indicat- ing that zip believes the file to be text or binary, respectively; but if the file is encrypted, zipinfo notes this fact by capitalizing the character (`T' or `B'). So if the uzip script is changed to inform the vfs layer that there is and encrypted file in the archive then the vfs layer should be modified aproapriately to handle the password input or just to fail further operations on the encrypted file. I haven't still looked at the code and I dont know if this is a task which can be completed fairly easy and without heavy modifications to the code. Any thoughts ? Had someone tried in the past to fix this ? Any hints ? :) Thanks! -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
