Bug description:
  (Excuse my english, I'm not a native speaker. I will try to be as
  clear as possible).

  After attempting to create an archive from folders who where actually
  just links, it seems that file-roller deleted all their content.

  Here are the steps I did :
  - Inside a folder, I had a dozen subfolders. Half of them where just links to 
folders placed elsewhere.
  - In Nautilus, I selected all these subfolders, choosed "compress", then 
choosed "zip" as the format.
  - The archive was created without any error message.

  I was expecting all the folders to be added to the archive, regardless
  of them being links or not.

  The disastrous result :
  - The archive is unusable. Attempting to expand it results in an error 
message (I didn't take note, but it was something generic saying the archive 
couldn't be expanded).
  - But more importantly, the content of the folders who where linked has 
disappeared. That is, the links are still here, the folders which they link to 
are still here, but they have been emptied.
  The files are not in the dustbin, they just disappeared.

  I noticed this right after I created the archive, I didn't touch my computer 
in-between.
  That's why I suspect file-roller.

  I will try to reproduce this bug in order to confirm it.
  But not before I find a way to recover my files, I lost a week of work 
because of this.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a
bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

Title:
  file-roller may delete the content of linked folder (?)

Status in File Roller:
  New
Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  (Excuse my english, I'm not a native speaker. I will try to be as
  clear as possible).

  After attempting to create an archive from folders who where actually
  just links, it seems that file-roller deleted all their content.

  Here are the steps I did :
  - Inside a folder, I had a dozen subfolders. Half of them where just links to 
folders placed elsewhere.
  - In Nautilus, I selected all these subfolders, choosed compress, then 
choosed zip as the format.
  - The archive was created without any error message.

  I was expecting all the folders to be added to the archive, regardless
  of them being links or not.

  The disastrous result :
  - The archive is unusable. Attempting to expand it results in an error 
message (I didn't take note, but it was something generic saying the archive 
couldn't be expanded).
  - But more importantly, the content of the folders who where linked has 
disappeared. That is, the links are still here, the folders which they link to 
are still here, but they have been emptied.
  The files are not in the dustbin, they just disappeared.

  I noticed this right after I created the archive, I didn't touch my computer 
in-between.
  That's why I suspect file-roller.

  I will try to reproduce this bug in order to confirm it.
  But not before I find a way to recover my files, I lost a week of work 
because of this.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1171236] Re: file-roller may delete the content of linked folder (?)

2013-04-21 Thread charles r. 
I made further tests, and I could reproduce this bug on another computer
(with the same setup).

It happens when you attempt to extract the archive containing linked folders.
Here are the exact steps to reproduce this bug :

1- Create a folder, say container
2- Inside, create another folder, say real folder
3- Place some files inside this folder (a week worth of precious work for 
instance. ah ah!)
4- Create a link of this folder in nautilus (right clic - create a link)

It should look like this :
-container
|_real folder (with files inside)
|_link to real folder

5- Create an archive from link to real folder (a zip in my test)
6- Extract that archive anywhere you want.
You will get an error message saying the files could not be extracted.
Check real folder : all the files should have disappeared !

Another thing to note : I works from one computer to another.
Create a bogus archive in computer A, extract it in computer B.
If computer B happens to have the same folders as the links contained inside 
the archive, they will also be emptied.
(There goes my backup files by the way -and one chance to recover them. I'm so 
happy).

My disc drives are formatted in ext4 if it's of any help.
