Public bug reported: I'm trying to compress a few files. I select them, right click and press Compress. I choose a filename and the compression type, followed by ok. Only the files without spaces in them (whitespace) are added to the archive. I get the following error: tar: Raport%20Activitate-29-07-2009.xls: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
I am pretty sure that the file "Raport Activitate-29-07-2009.xls" exists, as I was the one creating it. Works fine if I rename the file to "Raport-Activitate-29-07-2009.xls". file-roller: Installed: 2.27.3-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.27.3-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.27.3-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Linux unknown-device 2.6.31-4-generic #23-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 27 18:39:59 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Karmic Alpha 3 This should not happen; people usually do use whitespace in file names. ** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: I'm trying to compress a few files.
