Can you supply a link please.

Also, this bug was reported over 6 months ago. I’d really expect it to be fixed by now, and not have to rely on “user testing” of new releases, especially when I went to the trouble of creating a website with various files, then created a website archive, and sent it to PA tech personnel, so they can test it.

[spwolf]

did you use RC1? (10.21.xx) or 10.20.21?

:-)

Check RC1 from download page please.

[peterr]

Have downloaded and installed the RC1, thanks.

I have only checked a few files, especially the ones that were noted in the earlier post, and they are now okay.

Will create a larger archive and extract that, and then advise.

Thanks. :D

Well, the filename extensions seem okay, plus the filenames (and paths) look okay, but the modified time of the files don’t seem to reflect what the timestamps should be (I will have to look more into that).

Also, for some reason, PA displayed a “ghost” folder, one that isn’t on the website, called “the.same.host.name;”, see screen dump.

Two other minor annoyances with the interface, is that when using the “2-pane” view, the folders are not sorted, makes it a real pain for navigation (see screen dump).

Also, there needs to be a horizontal scroll bar added to the left hand pane/window, as often the 'folder depth" is more than the width of the left hand window, and therefore, folder/path names cannot be seen (see screen dump).

[peterr]

Yes, timestamps of the extracted archive are definitely a problem. Will have to look into it further, and then advise. :(

[peterr]

Two apologies. :o

PA displayed that folder correctly, I ran the archive through “tar”, and the folder was there, fortunately on a PA extract, it just ignored the folder name.

I was baffled by the timestamps, because in some cases, the date (day) was different to the file date on the server.

Took me a while to realise it was adjusting the timestamps of files, to reflect the timezone, even had to extract the archive on a *nix box and run “tar” to make sure it wasn’t a Windooze thing.

There is a 15 hour difference in timezones, between here and the web server, and in many cases, the file date was the next day, … hence the confusion. :confused:

So, timestamps of the extracted archive are definitely NOT a problem.

Please accept my apologies.

we added scroll bar to the archive folders bar, so it should work fine now. Please check with RC2 from our download page.

thanks!!!

[peterr]

Okay thanks, I’ll try it out.
