Description 76jplvqw7t 2010-04-17 20:19:15 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If RAR archive was been created with full header encryption, ie the password protection for archive was not set only to files but to the header too (eg,in Linux `rar a -hppassword arkNOT.rar file` ) Ark cannot get the header of archive from rar(1) output so it loops, the status bar shows "Loading archive...".

reproduce:
$dd if=/dev/zero of=file bs=1 count=1024 #create new file
$rar a -hppassword arkNOT.rar file  #create rar archive with password set which encrypts headers too (so the content filenames won't be visible if the correct password is not inserted)
$ark arkNOT.rar
