Summary | 0008772: Using GUI to Compress File(s)/Folder(s) No Longer Uses Filename Provided | ||||
Description | Using Kali Linux 2024.2 (bare metal install). When right-clicking on a file, then selecting "Compress", to compress a file (or files) into a .zip file, you are also provided with a line where you can enter in what you want the output zip file to be named. I've noticed that when compressing a single file into a zip, the new zip file will be named whatever the single files name is, and will end in .zip. See attached screenshots for examples (with red highlighted areas to notice). | ||||

Not sure if this should be entered into the Desktop Environment (XFCE, Gnome,...) instead. |
|
What desktop environment are you using? I'm testing it in Xfce with the newest Kali release and I can't reproduce it |

I apologize for my delay in responding on this. The DE I'm currently using on my Kali bare-metal install is Cinnamon. I've also noticed that there must've been another, recent update, because now, if you do not include ".zip" in the file name, I am not able to even create the compressed file. Only after adding ".zip" to the file name can the compressed file be created. In any case, I would say that this issue can now be marked as resolved. Things are working "properly" (albeit a bit differently than before), and I see no further issue. |
