This is happening to me on 11.10 with File Roller 3.2.1. I am getting am trying to drag and drop and I am getting:
Extraction not performed You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///home/elijah/websites/loc.gitsite.gary.com/sites/all/modules/features/articles/xds.txtodules" Not sure what to do but thought I would add it here. If I go up one level I can drag and drop and then drag the files/folders into the desired folder within Nautilus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483541 Title: File-roller drag'n drop is unreliable Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: file-roller Drag'n drop of a file from file-roller in Gnome to a local folder is unreliable here. It fails 1 time out of 5 here approximately. When it fails, it gives the following error message: You don't have the right permissions to extract archives in the folder "file:///home/chris/Documents/ASSET/WP5-T1/VTT/VTT-TML-Integration/Code/Web%20services/xds.txttion" Note that I'm actually trying to drop the file to this location (where the permissions are ok): /home/chris/Documents/ASSET/WP5-T1/VTT/VTT-TML-Integration/Code/Web services/ I have no idea where the trailing "xds.txttion" comes from and of course it does not exist on my local filesystem. The error always refers to this folder name. Just a hint, I think it has something to do with the time you wait until you release the mouse button to actually drop the file in the folder. I think the behavior is as follows: 1. Press mouse button on a file in file-roller, drag the mouse to the local folder, wait until a '+' appears on the left of the dragged file icon and then release the button -> It works (If you wait a sufficient amount of time, it never crashes) 2. Press mouse button on a file in file-roller, drag the mouse to the local folder, immediately release the mouse button before the '+' appears on the left of the file icon -> It does not do anything, the file is not extracted, no error (probably too fast). 3. Crash case: I think it crashes if you release the mouse button relatively fast, just before the '+' appears on the icon (or maybe at this moment). I might be wrong but this is my best guess and I hope it can help identifying the issue since it is not easy to reproduce probably.
