Public bug reported: I have an ISO archive and opened it with file-roller. Then I clicked the big [Extract] button, selected my Desktop as target directory (options "Extract: All files" and "Actions: Keep directory structure" checked) and confirmed. It extracted the files successfully, but also changed the permissions of the target directory itself (to r-xr-xr-x).
This is not expected and not intended. Actually I could no longer create or delete files in my Desktop directory after that, until I fixed the permissions again. I confirmed the behaviour with a different location as well. Extracting anything into a location should never modify permissions of the target location itself! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you're interested, here's what I did (extracting to ~/Desktop/testdir ; the "Extract" dialog window can be seen at https://i.stack.imgur.com/rlUvS.png): $ ls -l Desktop/ total 4 drwxrwxr-x 2 bytecommander bytecommander 4096 Sep 22 21:58 testdir/ $ file-roller test.iso $ ls -l Desktop/ total 4 dr-xr-xr-x 4 bytecommander bytecommander 4096 Sep 22 16:20 testdir/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- System info: $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 $ apt policy file-roller file-roller: Installed: 3.16.5-0ubuntu1.2 Candidate: 3.16.5-0ubuntu1.2 Version table: *** 3.16.5-0ubuntu1.2 500 500 http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/ubuntu xenial-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/ubuntu xenial-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.16.4-1ubuntu3 500 500 http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages ** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1626724 Title: Extracting iso changes target directory's permissions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1626724/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
