Hello g00r00!

Hope all is well with you!

On 08 Aug 2021, g00r00 said the following...

You probably know this already :), but the latest prealpha (which is a couple of days old now) appears to disallow anything with a path (slash) in it at the archive (V)iewer (D)ownload File Name prompt, i.e. it does not even call the archiver (e.g. tar) if you enter a path as part of the filename.

So, kind of a regression there, as the one from Aug 08 allowed a path (but did not perform basename when locating the file to send to the user).

Just let me know if/when you want me to test something related to this (also the new prompt), and I'll be happy to help!

Best regards
Bj”rn
