Bug#598458: #598458 - gnome: Using chown on a directory opened by a "Save as" window

[Eric Bakan]

Hi, I'm trying to reproduce your bug but I'm a little bit confused. Before
you use chown on /home/xxx/ do you have permission to access the directory?
Because if not, the problem is simply that the user you're logged in as
can't access the directory and therefore File Roller can't either. Chowning
the file would solve this problem because then you would have the
appropriate permissions to create the /home/xxx/archive directory. And then
when you close and reopen the extract window you'd already have permission
to create archive/ in /home/xxx and the whole issue would be avoided.

If this is not the case, please let me know and provide any other
information and I'll try to reproduce your issue again.

Also as a note I'm testing this on File Roller 2.22.4, so if there was an
actual issue it might have been resolved already.
