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: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
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.
