[Bug] Can't edit and save files inside a compressed file

Open Pocokk opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug When I try to edit/modify a file that is openable by Notepads, it refuses to properly save the that file INSIDE a compressed file. And on top of that, if I indirectly want to Edit it, it opens as an empty file instead.

To Reproduce

  1. Create a txt file, write something in it, then save.
  2. Using 7-zip/winrar whatever, compress that file.
  3. Open the compressed file, try to edit it, then save or open/view it directly and see its empty/nothing was changed.

Expected behavior It should be saved normally inside a compressed file. With default notepad, it works perfectly fine.

Screenshots Even better, a video! https://github.com/0x7c13/Notepads/assets/81096046/87c27118-71e1-447c-a8cc-4b4bb0e43a01

Also once finished with the edit/modify, the archiver program should prompt the following message: (it happens with regular notepad save) bvMcnMc

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10 22H2 19045.4123
  • Version latest 1.5.4.0

Additional context I got tired of the white theme on notepad, that's why I fell in love with Notepads, although this issue annoys me, please have a look, thank you!

P.S: I think it has to do with the fact that Notepads.exe is located in a hidden/restricted folder by default (Program Files/WindowsApps), compared to Notepad.exe, which is in system32.
