Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
Drag'n drop of a file from file-roller in Gnome to a local folder is
unreliable here. It fails 1 time out of 5 here approximately.
When it fails, it gives the following error message:
You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder
"file:///home/chris/Documents/ASSET/WP5-T1/VTT/VTT-TML-Integration/Code/Web%20services/xds.txttion"
Note that I'm actually trying to drop the file to this location (where the
permissions are ok):
/home/chris/Documents/ASSET/WP5-T1/VTT/VTT-TML-Integration/Code/Web services/
I have no idea where the trailing "xds.txttion" comes from and of course
it does not exist on my local filesystem. The error always refers to
this folder name.
Just a hint, I think it has something to do with the time you wait until you
release the mouse button to actually drop the file in the folder. I think the
behavior is as follows:
1. Press mouse button on a file in file-roller, drag the mouse to the local
folder, wait until a '+' appears on the left of the dragged file icon and then
release the button -> It works (If you wait a sufficient amount of time, it
never crashes)
2. Press mouse button on a file in file-roller, drag the mouse to the local
folder, immediately release the mouse button before the '+' appears on the left
of the file icon -> It does not do anything, the file is not extracted, no
error (probably too fast).
3. Crash case: I think it crashes if you release the mouse button relatively
fast, just before the '+' appears on the icon (or maybe at this moment).
I might be wrong but this is my best guess and I hope it can help
identifying the issue since it is not easy to reproduce probably.
