file roller can't recognize second of duplicate files

[Christer Edwards]

Binary package hint: file-roller

I have seen this issue in Feisty and previous releases. Here are steps that should re-create the issue:

navigate to any web site offering a tar.gz or similar archive.
select "open with..." and open with file-roller
navigate through the file archive (optional)
close the window
select the file from the web again
select "open with..." and open with file-roller
archive is not able to open

reason I've found:
when a file is taken and opened vs saving to disk it is put into /tmp/file.tar.gz. If the same file is selected from the web and opened using the same method the file is called /tmp/file.tar.gz.1.

can file roller check for the existence of the same file in /tmp when using the open with option? Would that be a feature/option to integrate at the browser level or file-roller level? In any event, the best way around that I've found is to delete both of the archives from /tmp and try again, or manually open the original archive from /tmp.

Confirmed using Gutsy Gibbon and file-roller version 2.19.3-0ubuntu1.

This is related to Bug #139853 which is fixed in file-roller 2.21.2-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu Hardy.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Did you try on hardy? That's still an issue, reopening

[Christer Edwards (christer.edwards)]

Still seems to be an issue on Hardy.

Navigating to a .bz2 file in Firefox I am prompted to open it with Archive Manager, which works properly the first time.

Closing that window and re-addressing the link again prompts for opening with Archive Manager but then displays a <filename>.1.

<filename>.1 is properly recognized as an archive, but there are now two files in /tmp. The original and a -1.

Seems to still be the same behaviour in hardy as the original bug.

This still happens in Intrepid RC with file-roller 2.24.1-0ubuntu2.

It works the first time and then fails for all subsequent downloads of the same file.
I have to manually delete the files in /tmp to make file-roller open the archive correctly.

Can't reproduce this anymore on a fresh install of 64bit Jaunty Alpha.
I can download tar.gz files any number of times and they open fine in file-roller.
