Hello g00r00!

As you already know, most archivers are configured in Mystic to junk paths on unpacking.

I noticed that when viewing an archive which doesn't use the built-in archive viewer -- i.e. the archive is not ZIP/RAR/LHA/LZH -- and which contains files in subdirectories, and selecting (D)ownload File from the archive view prompt (prompt #304), and then entering a path as part of the File Name prompt (prompt #353), e.g. subdir/subdir.txt, Mystic will extract the file (the archiver will junk the paths of the extracted file) and then look for the file as subdir/subdir.txt to send to the user, fail to find it, and the file (named subdir.txt only, not in a subdirectory, as the paths were junked) will be left over in the root of the temp* directory.

Is there any smart way to avoid this? Could Mystic perhaps perform a 'basename <filename>' on the entered File Name when locating it for download, looking for that name in the root of the temp* directory?

Note that there *are* reasons for *not* peforming a basename operation to the "%2" argument to the archiver -- only for the download operation! There might be multiple files with the same name in different subdirectories, and letting "%2" contain a path allows the user to specify exactly which file with that name that should be extracted/downloaded.

Best regards
Bj”rn
