MacOS Archive Utility (default) can't extract file #131

Closed rmst closed 2 years ago

Used SingleFileZ/master to download the file and then renamed the extension from .html to .zip and got this. Am I doing anything wrong or is this a bug?

rmst commented 2 years ago

Okay seems to be an issue just with MacOS' Archive Utility. With Python's zipfile the extraction works

gildas-lormeau commented 2 years ago

I confirm this is a bug in MacOS Archive Utility which (still) does not support data descriptor signatures in zip files, see "4.3.9 Data descriptor" (4.3.9.3) for more info here: https://pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/casestudies/APPNOTE.TXT. I should be able to circumvent it though.

Did Apple fix the issue?

rmst commented 2 years ago

No, I just closed it because it's an Apple bug not a SingleFile bug

gildas-lormeau commented 2 years ago

Thank you for the info. I said I would circumvent it, that's why the bug was kept open. It will be fixed in the next version anyway.

Starting with the version 1.3.23, saved pages should be compatible with MacOS Archive Utility.
