View Full Version : CAB file view: all files seem to have zero-size

Good day

This is not critical -- but should probably be fixed (:

I work a lot with CAB files (there's a lot of history there). jZip creates / reads / writes them just fine -- but all files within a CAB file show up in jZip as having a size of zero bytes. It's probably a trivial thing to fix (I've written a content file size handler for handling the size of files within a CAB, using the CAB SDK -- it can be implemented as a file read that doesn't actually do anything with the returned data handle). It would be nice to see it fixed (or I could even contribute, if you like?)

Hey davydm,

Thanks for reporting this bug.
like you said, it's not critical, but it is annoying.
i'll report it to the development team. i'm sure they'll figure out what needs to be fixed.

thanks again.

Don't forget it happens the same for LHA (can find test samples on http://aminet.net ) files: 0 bytes for all files within...
I've reported this already some months ago.

I suggest you to test all file formats supported by jZip before next official release for this annoying bug.
