Issue extracting HQX file

Open ci-macpaw opened this issue 8 years ago • 3 comments

This HQX file does not extract. lsar understands its contents perfectly, and unar appears to start extracting OK, but ends with "No files extracted.". I don't know why this is.

A quick update: after extracting large amounts of old mac files, I've realised that this error occurs every time that a compressed file contains only one mac file and its resource fork. If there are multiple files inside of a folder, then it extracts fine.

Thanks for that workaround. I have found another file (this time a .sea) that also does not work, and quite a few that work fine. Let me know if you would like these files for testing.

Dag Ågren (DagAgren):

Looks like a bug with the handling of resource forks on non-macOS systems.

As a workaround, you can run the command twice with the options "-i 0" and "-i 1" to extract the two forks separately, which seems to work.
