file-roller doesn't add any files in zip archive when parent directory contains & character

[Okki]

Binary package hint: file-roller

mkdir -p "animation & mangas/berserk/tome1"
cd "animation & mangas/berserk/tome1"
touch "Crédits [b-c&f-c].jpg"
touch "[f-c&b-c]Berserk Vol24 Chap01 fr (01).jpg"
touch "[f-c&b-c]Berserk Vol24 Chap02 fr (07&08).jpg"

Now, with Nautilus, when I click on the "berserk" directory and that I choose Create an archive, file-roller creates it, but the created file is empty. It doesn't add any files. But when I do a zip -r berserk.zip in the terminal, it's ok, the files are included.

If I choose .tar.gz rather than .zip I obtain this error :

An error occurred while adding files to the archive.

tar: berserk/k/tome1: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: berserk/k: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
mv: cannot stat `.gz': No such file or directory

If I remove the & character in the "animation & mangas" parent directory, the problem disappear.

A friend of mine told me that file-roller 2.20.1 doesn't have this problem. Perhaps a new bug introduced by gvfs ?

Thanks for your report, confirming.

Confirmed on Hardy.

I was trying to find the problem. I removed the "&" symbol (and the spaces - trying to track down the problem - However I do nto think the spaces made it not work) and it worked.

I downloaded and installed File Roller 2.23.5 (latest version ) and this issue does not exist.
