Description Pau Estalella 2008-05-19 15:42:58 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

Extract an application binary with executable permissions set (either from a .zip or from a .tar.gz) gets a file without execute permissions.

Does zip files even support the executed permissions? Anyways, this is indeed missing.

Comment 2 Harald Hvaal 2008-11-23 18:32:59 UTC

Testing with other archivers, I see that zip files do indeed storing 
permissions, but ark does not. It works for tar archives.

Comment 3 Harald Hvaal 2008-11-23 18:35:55 UTC

Also, libzip, which ark uses, does not support storing permissions of the files.

Comment 4 Harald Hvaal 2009-05-10 06:23:30 UTC

Libzip is now deprecated
