|    Unpack Cmd junk paths and downloads    |

      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A47       MSGID: 2:201/137 6457c65f       TZUTC: 0200       Hello g00r00!              It is my understanding that the Unpack Cmd of archivers should junk paths to       make sure that Mystic will find the extracted file in the root of the temp       directory, e.g. when (V)iewing an archive (non-built-in formats) and choosing       to (D)ownload a file. Is that correct?              As you already know, some archivers (e.g. tar) require archive members to be       specified by their full path when extracting parts of (specific files from) an       archive.              Right now I'm having the issue that albeit I can specify the path to an       archive member at the (D)ownload file name prompt -- e.g. subdir/test2.txt --       which is great! -- the extracted file will (because of "junk path" flags to the       archiver) end up as test2.txt in the top of the temp directory. Mystic fails       to find the file as subdir/test2.txt inside the temp directory, and does       nothing (you get no file).              If you (D)ownload again, and this time specify test2.txt, it will actually       fail to extract it (you didn't specify a full path this time!), but find the       previously junk-path-extracted test2.txt, and give you that for download.              Shouldn't Mystic be looking for the basename of the entered File Name when       trying to locate the extracted file for download?              (But *do* allow for the entered File Name to be a path -- just as it is now!       -- as some archivers require it.)              Best regards       Bj”rn       --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/08/08 (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           |
