Title:
Extracting iso changes target directory's permissions
Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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
