creating archive from files on SMB share impossible

[iGadget]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When I try to create an archive from files which are on a Samba share (to which I have full access), using Nautilus' build-in 'Create Archive...' option, I get the following error:

An error occurred while adding files to the archive.

Error opening file '/tmp/.[random-temp-dir]/[filename]': Is a directory

See attached screenshot.

I don't get this error when creating an archive from files which reside on my harddrive.

that's more like a file-roller issue and also known upstream, you can track it here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565606

Pedro, thanks for your fast reply. The upstream bug is indeed the same. I hope someone with enough privileges on the Gnome Bugzilla can change it's status into 'confirmed'.

Thanks for the check Matthijs, Upstream is now marked as New which is the status there for Confirmed/Triaged, thanks.

Pedro, thanks for your reply. Let's hope upstream can fix this bug in time before Jaunty.

And let's give credit where credit is due: Gianfranco was the first one to report this bug.
