Affected app version
1.6.1
Affected Android/Custom ROM version
Android 16 / LineageOS 23.2
Affected device model
Samsung Galaxy S10+
How did you install the app?
F-Droid / IzzyOnDroid
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Create a folder on your computer. I created a folder named A on the Desktop of a Debian OS.
- Put many folders and files in it. I created this folder with many things inside so I can copy paste many things in one go to my Android phone.
- Archive the folder as Zip with compression set to store (for no compression).
- Copy the A.zip file (or whatever you called it) to the root of the internal memory.
- Extract it.
Expected behavior
I expecting it will give me the exact folder structure that I had inside.
Meaning:
A single folder called: A
With everything that was inside when I archive it to still be inside, in the same exact hierarchy.
Without anything extra being added.
Actual behavior
The file manager automatically creates a folder named A and then it puts inside of it what I have in the archive.
So the hierarchy is now like this:
A
-A
--The contents of A meanind the folders and files that were inside of it.
Screenshots/Screen recordings
No response
Additional information
I took this route of archiving the folder with everything inside it because the folder is very big, more than 20 GiB and copying-pasting normally takes very long and it's very error-prone, with multiple failures.
Copying a single file seems to be faster and less error-prone.
I've put the archive at the root of the internal storage because there I would've normally copied the folder, if it worked without problems.
So extracting the archive there should've gave me a single A folder at the root of the internal memory and not 2 A folders nested.
The second worst thing is that I cannot even move out the inner A folder as the name will conflict with the outer A folder.
The third worst thing is that the outer A folder cannot me renamed to anything else so I can move the inner A out as I don't see anything in the menu after selecting the out A folder to rename it.
I've tried to rename the outer A folder from the computer and while it looked like it worked, it gave an error after some time about some movement failure.
I see now that this file manager show the outer as renamed, but after that movement error I'm not sure anymore if I still have the same folders and files in it without any problems, so I prefer to delete it and start over.
But unfortunately extracting the archive will give me again the same double folder in a nested way.
I think the same thing happened to me in the past with a .tar archive, so I assume this behavior is the same for all archive files extraction.
Can you please fix it to stop doing these automatic unexpected things?
And in the meantime, give a way to manually stop them, if the proper fix is hard to do and takes a long time?
Thank you!
