gives too little permissions to extracted files by default

[muszek]

Package: file-roller (or some lower-level package)

This happens to me _a lot_. I get some archive from the web, extract it only to find out that file-roller didn't give "read" (and "execute" in case of directories) permision to "group" and "others". Typical scenario (just happened):

I download some (compressed) javascript library to include it in my app. I use nautilus to extract its contents. I use the web browser to access those files and I get a "forbidden" code (because files are being accessed by the web server, which is not the owner of those files).

Here's the story of one archive extracted by midnight commander and nautilus' file-roller:

Thank you for your bug report. The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you get the permission set correctly when extracting using the command line tools directly for the archive format you are using?

<em>do you get the permission set correctly when extracting using the command line tools directly for the archive format you are using?</em> (let's hope basic html works...)

yes, here's the output:

I'm attaching the archive used in examples, just in case someone wanted to reproduce the bug on his own. It comes from http://colorpowered.com/colorbox/

I've had some suspicions and tested them on my wive's computer. File roller gave _correct_ permissions to files. I've had Ubuntu on my lappy from day one (AFAIR I got it after Feisty came out) and must have messed something up on the way.

Please feel free to re-assess whether this ticket still deserves dev's attention.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

thank you for the extra details, the issue would need investigation to determine what option leads to the difference but it's rather a low importance one if that's not happening to lot of users

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

I've sent this upstream at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597562 ;feel free to subscribe to that upstream report as well, thanks.

Hi,
     I just spent a lot of time (1 to 2 hrs) for this bug. I downloaded a zip file from Firefox, then and I decompressed in a folder. Later, I tried opening/execute from Firefox and couldn't. If you can solve this bug, I would be very happy.

Best,
Paul Leger, an angry man.

Exact same bug 3 years later, zip files are extracted with wrong permissions, 700 instead of 722. I've seen this constant behaviour on every distribution since 10.04, on every machine (6 total).

[Thomas Hunziker (thomas-hunziker)]

I have the same issue with multiple installation of Ubuntu 12.04. Is there some workaround?
