To follow up: One of the main developers of Double Commander found a glitch in parsing extended headers when extracting tarballs. Apparently fixed, but will no doubt be some time before it filters down from upstream. Note that opening an archive manager (file-roller, xarchive) gets all the files from the tarball, but requires more clicks of mouse. JN On 2026-07-15 19:13, Nash JC - NCF via linux wrote:
In building a small but esoteric program to animate dance choreographies I downloaded a 200K bz2 tarball. When I ran make, it was obvious a file (figures.c) was missing. The author sent the file and things built (apart, of course, from the usual dependency woes). But he said the file was in the tarball. Using CLI tar, 7z, and other tools, it's there! Thunar, Nemo and Double Commander all show failures some of the time, and on more than one machine. Does anyone know where the right-click scripts to do extraction are located? I've tried to find them where some web pages claim they should be e.g., ~/.local/share/nemo/actions/ but no joy. This is worrying, as archives should just work.
