      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 9a380c67       REPLY: 2:201/137 95462887       TZUTC: 0200       Hello again, g00r00!              On 06 Aug 2021, Bj”rn Wiberg said the following...        BW> BW> For instance, tar requires the "correct" (full) path of a file within        BW> BW> archive to be entered when selecting files for extraction.        BW>         BW> Apart from tar, this also applies to zip, lha and 7z (including LHA/LZH        BW> via 7-ZIP for Windows).        BW>         BW> (But not to arj e -e, zoo x:, or arc e which doesn't have any notion of        BW> subdirectories whatsoever).              OK, a clarification might be in place:              The problem is only with the sanitization of the file name that one can       specify manually when choosing to (D)ownload (prompt #304) for an archiver       which has no built-in archive browser in Mystic.              So this does *not* affect archives which have built-in viewing support (ZIP,       LHA/LZH and RAR), as the path passed in %2 to the Unpack Cmd in those cases       *is* fully qualified.              So, in practice, on a default installation, this only concerns 7z (and LHA via       7z on Windows).              And any "picky" custom archivers one might have added after that, such as tar.       :)              Best regards       Bj”rn       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/08/05 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 30/0 80/1 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 218/700 221/0 1 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 428 452 550 700 981 1016 1017       SEEN-BY: 230/0 240/1120 5832 249/206 307 317 400 261/38 280/464 5003       SEEN-BY: 282/464 1038 292/854 8125 301/0 1 101 113 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 341/66 342/200 396/45 633/280 712/848 920/1 2452/250       SEEN-BY: 3634/24 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 301/1 229/426           |
