Description mykhal 2008-05-26 16:17:41 CEST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080416 BonEcho/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: 

Xarchiver hangs when opening 7zip archives with encrypted header (which are produced applying -mhe=on param to p7zip (7z)). 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. `touch some files`
2. `7z a -mhe=on -ppassword archive.7z some files`
3. `xarchiver archive.7z`

Actual Results:  
Xarchiver hangs with "Please wait while the content of the archive is being read.." message in the status bar

Expected Results:  
Xarchiver should recognize archives with encrypted header, and should ask the password on opening them.

Also Xarchiver can't extract encripted 7z archives with not encripted headers
( 7z a -ppassword FILES.7z FILES ).
Comment 2 Giuseppe Torelli 2008-07-04 11:58:47 CEST
This bug could be fixed only if the password could be detected going through the file.7z itself. I don't know any easy way to do this.
