xarchiver-0.5.4.12 preferences ignored about xarchiver HOT 15 CLOSED

Sorry, I don't understand. Please explain more detailed.

from xarchiver.

Here two different problems.

Second problem: when open .tar.gz (.tar.bz2) xarchiver 'freezing' with message "open archive, please wait..." with no listing files in archive. It's infinite process. But on the HDD we have: file original.tar.gz(bz2) disappear and appear original.tar. It may be opened usual way with file listing inside. I see this problem right now and confirm it.
Cmd-line output:

gzip: skipping: /home/user/very-important-database_20160630_144336_nosql_73bfbe9d.tar.gz does not exist

First problem: unselect checkbox "Confirm deletion of files" ignored. I can't confirm this issue. If I unselect checkbox "Confirm deletion of files" (Actions -> Preferences) files in archive deleted without confirmation (as expected).

@ktrace

xarchiver 'freezing'

Depending on the content of a tar archive, opening may take a while. How many files does it contain?

original.tar.gz(bz2) disappear

I cannot reproduce this. Actually, xarchiver doesn't touch the original, but creates an uncompressed working copy in the preferred temp directory.

Please provide:

• complete Cmd-line output
• your xarchiverrc
• output of xarchiver -i (from a terminal window)

from xarchiver.

I cannot reproduce this.

Let's check, if it distro-depened bug I retarget it in gentoo's bugzilla.

@ktrace

I still cannot reproduce.

Does it happen with a small tar.gz/tar.bz2 as well?

When xarchiver is 'freezing', please see whether there is a directory named xa-XXXXXX in /tmp (XXXXXX denoting any combination of characters and numbers) and is anything inside this directory?

from xarchiver.

@ktrace

What does file /usr/bin/gzip and /usr/bin/gzip -V say?

from xarchiver.

yes, it may be problem here

/usr/bin/gzip -V
pigz 2.3.4

from xarchiver.

@ktrace

I can confirm that pigz is the problem.

While gzip does a decompression to stdout (gzip -d foo.tar.gz -c > bar.tar) without touching foo.tar.gz, pigz decompresses foo.tar.gz to foo.tar and produces any empty bar.tar.

So I'd say it's a compatibility bug in pigz.

from xarchiver.

( gzip -c -d foo.tar.gz > bar.tar ) work with both versions, here workaround.

but i create issue madler/pigz#51

from xarchiver.

madler close bug madler/pigz#51 "work as documented"
so we had only one variant: change options order (-c first). i hope for your help and understanding.

from xarchiver.

Well, it's incompatible with gzip then.

from xarchiver.

maybe you may change option order? here strange situation - if both developers (you and madler) will not change anything - question were not solved.

from xarchiver.

@ktrace
You are using a script named gzip that is incompatible with gzip. Just make it compatible.

from xarchiver.

Just make it compatible.

For example, set C=-c if [[ "${@/-c/}" != "$@" ]] and call pigz $C "$@".
