(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: Konqueror 1.9.8 as of KDE Release 2.0 Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE RPMs I use konqueror to open a tar.gz for browsing (say /tmp/t.tar.gz) and that tar file contains an html file and a symbolic link to that html file. If I then click on that symbolic link to an html filei nside that tar.gz file konqueror tries to access that document but failes with "The file or directory /tmp/target.html does not exist". I.e. it takes the link relative to the file system and not relative to the tar file. I admit this is a subtle point... Dirk (submitted via bugs.kde.org)

Which could be argued as bug - but a subtle as Dirk says :) Greetings Stephan -- Frauen und Maenner passen vielleicht nicht zusammen aber meine allerschoensten Schrammen habe ich mir bei diesem Duell geholt. -- Reinhard Mey

The link should be a relative link then. It's just the same as when you mount a filesystem into another partition or use NFS. Only relative symlinks work in that case. I'm not too sure this should be hacked into the tar-file support... It could be but : imagine you then give that tar file to someone else who will untar it into a directory of his. An absolute link won't work whereas a relative link would. --=20 David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE Making The Future of Computing Available Today See http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html for how to set up KDE 2

I tested blah/ blah/test.html blah/link.html where link.html -> test.html This works the link is resolved ok. --=20 David FAURE david@mandrakesoft.com faure@kde.org http://www.mandrakesoft.com/~david/ http://www.konqueror.org/ KDE Making The Future of Computing Available Today See http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html for how to set up KDE 2

Only relative symlinks work in that case. It is a hardlink in this case which should be recognizable as "contained inside the tar file". > I'm not too sure this should be hacked into the tar-file support... Neither am I as this is not exactly an important issue I just happened to run into it and wanted to report it. > It could be but : imagine you then give that tar file to someone else > who will untar it into a directory of his.

Replaced hohndel@suse.de with null@kde.org due to bounces by reporter
is this stil valid wish for konq 4.2.4?
All reports about file management mode reported against KDE 3 (konqueror) has been closed: konqueror in KDE 3 is no more developed and mantained. All bugs and wishes which could be interesting for Dolphin in KDE 4 (the new KDE file manager) has been collected into a specific list. Please try the new file manager before request new features and report bugs. Before submitting new reports check carefully the already opened KDE/Dolphin reports in order to don't add duplicates. Many thanks.
