[Pkg-ROX-devel] Bug#325333: rox-filer: Does not run commands in the current directory when associating a file type toa command

[Alexander Toresson]

Package: rox-filer
Version: 2.2.0-2
Severity: normal

This is best explained with an example, so here goes:

I have set .tar.bz2 files to be run with tar -xvjf "$@". However, when I 
then double click on a .tar.bz2 file, the files in the archive are 
extracted to my home directory, and not to the directory the archive is 
in. This works ok when selecting a file, pressing ! and entering tar 
-xvjf "$@", but not when I set such a file to be run with the same 
command. The effect is even worse with .zip files (set to be run with 
unzip "$@"), because they most often don't extract to a subdir, so the 
contents will be scattered all over my home dir. What I'd like to be able to 
do is to create a new directory, move the .zip file into it and double 
click on it to extract it into that directory. I have compiled the 
latest upstream, 2.3, and it has the same problem.
