[Bug] extract from zip to system directories not possible

Post by *gap »

Hi, I found a small bug.

When I try to copy/extract a file from inside a zip file to a "R/W" mounted system directory directly I get an error.
I noticed that the SU permission confirmation shows after I dismiss the error-popup, maybe thats the problem?

As a workaround I have to extract it to a non-system directory (/mnt/sdcard) and copy the extracted file to the system directory.

Thank you again for the best Android file manager there is!

This is unfortunately impossible. Why? TC cannot by itself write to system directories, it has to open a hidden Linux shell and send shell commands like cp (copy) or mv (move) to it. There is no unzip which could be run as root.
