Description (last modified by andrew_b) (diff)

If rar archive is packed with option '-hp' midnight commander stalls on open attempt of such archive. The only workaround is to do:
killall rar (if F3 was pressed)
killall unrar (if Enter was pressed)
After killing the rar/unrar process the "enter password ..." prompt is shown which is left from rar-process.
For testing purposes it is necessary to create archive with the following sample command:
$ rar a test_archive.rar * -hpmypassword

  • Version changed from 4.7.0 to 4.7.4
  • Summary changed from Incorrect handling of rar-archives with encrypted headers (-hp option) to Missing support for archives with encrypted headers (rar, 7z and probably more)
  • Milestone changed from 4.7 to 4.7.5

Also affects 7z and probably most archivers with encrypted headers.

As solution dialog requesting for password should be added on such archives.

Replying to eugenesan:

What is your proposal, how to recognize that archive program asks password?
