Cannot Extract in File Roller When Using Default Location

[jamie]

After opening a ZIP file using File Roller and clicking the Extract button. The Extract window already has a default location selected, yet the Extract button in the dialog is greyed out. If one is happy with the default location, you have to click another folder and then click back to the default folder again before the Extract button on the dialog is clickable.

Fix: The Extract button should not be greyed out when the default extraction folder is selected.

not here, that works fine, which version of Ubuntu are you running there?

I Karmic Koala Fully updated as of this post date I have this same problem. The button is enabled, but when I click it nothing happens. I have to move to another location and then come back to the default location to make it work.

this is not a file-roller bug rather its a gtkfilechooser bug. to verify that open firefox press ctrl+o and click open without selecting anything.

I'm still unable to reproduce this problem.

Every time extract in file-roller and firefox works correctly ,no problems.
BTW , I'm on Lucid , either this problem has been solved or something in your respective system is creating a problem.

Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. However, a paper cut should be a small usability issue, in the default Ubuntu install, that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. So this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

For further information about papercuts criteria, please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut.

Don't worry though, this bug has been marked as "Invalid" only in the papercuts project.

I am using lucid fully updated and face this.

[Vish (vish)]

I'd suggest you try it again , in a guest session.
On lucid it works correctly.
It might be cruft from old hidden files in your /home directory.

Vish, I don't see why this is not considered a paper cut.
