Bug: files without extension not extracted
-
Environment:
Powerarchiver 10.20.05
Windows Vista Ultimate 32-BitFiles without an extension, such as are common in Unix-style tar.gz files, are not automatically extracted by Powerarchiver.
They have to be manually extracted. -
what format of archive?
-
GZipped Tarball (.tar.gz)
I’ve tried a couple, and in all cases “extract” (extract all) skipped the files without extension.
I first noticed it in a few of the MinGW packages (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435), then also in other tarballs.
-
I tried this by creating a .tar.gz file containing multiple text files (just one file with no extension) - worked fine
So I went to sourceforge (your link) and tried with
wget-1.9.1.tar.gz - also worked fine.Both cases I double click the .tar.gz file (to open in PA) then click on Extract Toolbar Button (extract all is checked by default) - [Modern Toolbar].
Are you doing different procedure?Note: I have PA 10.20.rc1 (10.20.08).
-
Tried the same package, same problem.
Then did an uninstall and reinstall of PA (wiping also all settings)… seems to have fixed it.
Cancel this report. If I run into it again, I’ll repost here.
