Bug ID: 394744 Summary: Dolphin cannot browse archives that are not named with the appropriate extension Product: dolphin Version: 18.04.1 Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: kishor...@gmail.com CC: elvis.angelac...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- If we have a zip or tar.gz archive, we can usually browse it like a folder. However, if the archive is named without an extension, we get the message 'invalid protocol' when we try to do this. However, the 'information' panel in Dolphin shows that it is correctly detected as having the relevant mime type. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a folder. 2. Create two text files inside it. 3. Compress the folder as zip, naming it folder.zip, or something similar. 4. Observe that you can enter the archive like a folder and view the text files inside. 5. Now, rename the archive from 'folder.zip' to 'folder' (remove the extension). 6. Now, if you try to browse the archive in Dolphin Observed results: For zip archives without extension, it seems to enter the folder, but does not show the contents. For tar.gz archives without extension, it does not enter the archive, and gives the error 'invalid protocol'. Expected results: Archives which are detected as archives by mimetype should be handled in the same way, regardless of whether they have the appropriate extension. Possibly related: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188989 , but this is about zip archives having a different extension, instead of having no extension. I'm not sure if this is a bug in Dolphin or kio, so I'm filing it under Dolphin. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
