Archive browser needs to switch to flat mode for listing some out of standard archives #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
A few archiver utilities does not create entries for directories names while 
creating archives of various formats.

Browsing a such (mal)formed archive with PeaZip, the program will miss the 
directories name and so will not be able to display them, but still can launch 
jobs to correctly extract, list and test the archive, including the not 
displayed content.

The problem is avoided browsing those malformed archives in flat mode (clicking 
on the expand "+" icon or F6), or using basic or advanced filters. 
List/test/extract operation are not affected by the problem

From version 2.1, PeaZip auto-switches to flat view mode if it is able to 
detect this problem (which happens if no item is declared at the root level of 
the archive).

PeaZip 3.3. improves recognition of malformed archives and in those cases
automatically switches to flat mode (show all).
Also, the icon for toggling browse mode and flat mode was also added in
status bar area for better visibility of this feature.

This bug is also documented in program's FAQ

PeaZip 3.6.2 implement a new control for detecting out of standard archives, 
not featuring entries for directories.
Detecting this problem, PeaZip switches to flat mode allowing users to see 
listed all objects, also ones inside non declared directories.
All known cases are now correctly detected, so class of the issue was changed 
from defect to enhancement.
Please let me know if in some cases the detection still fails and PeaZip does 
not automatically switch to flat mode.

In any case this problem only applies to archive listing and only for browse 
mode, that can be forced switching to flat mode with F6. On extraction of the 
whole archive missing directories are automatically created.
