Bug ID: 365062
Summary: compress to zip does a compress to gzip intead
Product: dolphin
Version: 4.14.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: eforg...@yahoo.fr
When I right click a folder to zip it "compress to zip file", it get a
folder.zip file. But some people reported me they couldn't uncompress my file.
I've checked with the "file" command and got this:
gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Mon Jul 4 10:22:21 2016
To uncompress it, we have to "gunzip folder.zip", then "tar xfv folder", which
isn't expected behavior.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.right click a folder to zip it "compress to zip file
2. get a "folder.zip" file
3. try to "unzip folder.zip" => "End-of-central-directory signature not found.
Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.". "file
folder.zip" reveals it's a gzip + tar file instead.
Actual Results:
the folder.zip file is a gzip file but it's renamed a zip, not gz or tar.gz.
It's misleading and not useful because there is already an option to compress
to .tar.gz
Expected Results:
the resulting folder.zip should be a zip compressed file, not a gzip file.
it behaves like this on linux mint 17.3.
Haven't tried on other distributions.
