Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: file-roller
Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy
file-roller 2.20.1-0ubuntu1
When extracting a volume set of rar archives and file-roller encounters a
missing archive volume, it erroneously asks for a password and displays only a
password entry box.
It does not report -which- volume is missing and upon adding that volume and
hitting enter, it exits instead of continuing the extraction process.
Comparing this behaviour to WinRAR which will prompt you for the missing
volume and continue the extraction process when you've entered a path to
that volume (desired behaviour).
Also, the progress reporting bar in file-roller erroneously just rolls back and
forth instead of reporting the current progress and volume being processed.
(There's a bug report on this behaviour here and on bugzilla with a couple of
suggested patches but that hasn't been updated since 2006-xx-xx)
I've found I've become more prone to using the rar command rather than
file-roller because of this behaviour.

Sparhawk
