Example of the conundrum with miss matching directory names and contents
SUMMARY
***
So reason I didn't put this in critical is there is not a crash of the program.
But with a specific archive of mine, which I made using Nanazip on Windows,
brought to linux and have had zero issues with for multiple days untill 5pm on
the 2nd of March. Atlantic time.
But this is a 3.6 or so gb archive full of folders containing mods for a Java
program called Starsector.
Whenever I extract a folder via clicking and dragging the extracted folder is
sometimes missing subfolders, and containing folders with broken names missing
files which are in the folder containing the subfolder they should belong in
also with broken names. So obvious decompression errors with repeated words and
the likes in file and folder names.
The thing is, when I do things the long way with the GUI or right click or what
be it. No issues at all.
So I did a few things,
Restarted computer. No luck.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Ark. Restarted computer. No luck.
Made a copy of this archive to test with the copy. No luck
Moved the original archive to see if moving it would fix the problem. No luck.
Now the real voodoo is it is JUST this archive, and JUST now.
I have no idea how to reproduce this without giving you folks the archive in
question.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have my archive named mods.7z regardless of its location
2. Open it
3. select what you want and drag out the given folders with the mouse into a
normal directory
OBSERVED RESULT
Corrupted extractions as elaborate on in summary.
EXPECTED RESULT
Proper extraction of folders
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Nobara 39, 6.7.6-201.fsync.fc39.x86_64 (64-bit)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10 with X11
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In the .png given. As you can see the left with the extracted folders and the
right with the directory. File names do not match. If you want to have my
archive I can happily make a google drive link for you.
Also this is kind of a deal breaker for me, any other Linux Compression
software around you folks can recommend. I really want to avoid something like
this again. I only make this bug report as I would hate this to happen to an
important archive or mine. Or someone else have this issue and be totally
oblivious and think the archive is corrupted. Uh do give a community warning
too if you folks are willing.
