file-roller ignores leading whitespace of (at least) directories.
This is a follow-up from #47 and the same bug exists in mate-desktop/engrampa#299.
There is the issue that file-roller ignores leading whitespace of directories, merging "test" and " test" into the same directory in the GUI. I've not verified this behavior in file-roller (as I don't use it as my daily driver), but given that I've seen it in #47 I assume it is also there. A copy of the Engrampa report follows:
- Create two directories "test" and " test"
mkdir "test" " test"
- Pack them up
tar -cf test.tar "test" " test"
If we view it with
tar
we get this:$ tar -tf test.tar test/ test/
However, Engrampa does only show one "test" directory in the archive.
Most curiously, this does not occur when you package them up as zip (which is part of the original bug report, as jars are only zip files).
