extfs changes with mc 4.8.25 regarding '.' '..' in filenames list
Hi, due to limitations of the tar support built-in in mc (as tracked in tickets #2201 und #1952) I am using an extfs module to access tar archives - the one from openSUSE mentioned in ticket #2201. I noticed that it "stopped working" with mc 4.8.25 which has landed in openSUSE Tumbleweed: entering a tar archive which contains files no files are listed anymore in the panel. After some debugging I found the cause: This "untar" module adds "./" at the beginning of the extracted filenames in order to handle filenames beginning with a blank. Removing this "./" it works again, except for filenames which start with a blank - they are listed in the panel but can not be opened or extracted because tar can not find them in the archive without the missing blank. I found that in some other extfs modules (for deb and urar) in mc 4.2.25 also the "./" was removed and I found commit https://github.com/MidnightCommander/mc/commit/e1a1990055017aac1f1c906df980f3a28683efd4 that . and .. may no longer appear in listed file names. I am happy that according to ticket #1952 native support for full featured tar files will come back into mc, but I wonder in general how extfs modules are now supposed to handle files contained in archives beginning blanks? Is there some other marker supported for such cases? Regards, Dieter ___ mc-devel mailing list https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc-devel
