Bug ID: 464633
Summary: ark creates folders with 01/01/1970 timestamp
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version: 22.12.1
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: veeh...@zoho.com
CC: aa...@kde.org, rthoms...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When an archive has folders without timestamps, ark will use a timestamp of
01/01/1970 01:00.
This can cause issues with other software (owncloud/nextcloud sync) as the
extracted folder timestamp is considered invalid so the folder & contents do
not get syncronised until a valid datetime is set.
other software like 7zip and peazip do not do this, and appear to set the date
to the time of file extraction.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. obtain a zip file that includes folders without a timestamp
(https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5027154/files is a specific example).
2. open/extract zip with Ark
3. note the 'Date' field is empty, or 1970 date of folder if extracted.
EXPECTED RESULT
honour either the valid date if it exists in the zip file, or have the folder
timestamp use the datetime at the point of extraction.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I guess there are a few train of thoughts to what the correct behaviour should
be, but personally i don't believe 01/01/1970 would EVER be functionally
correct, even if it is technically correct.
