I'm using QuaZip for compressing files. There is a bug in the lib when you try to archive some folders that contain symlinks(aliases on mac), the file attributes are not preserved correctly in the archive. Is there a possibility to set the filetype attribute (file, directory, symlink, etc) through Qt or unix API?
I saw that in Qt all the flags are handled via QFile::setPermissions() method.
Here in QFileSystemEngine::setPermissions()(Qt source) Qt implementation handles also other flags than the ones from QFile::Permissions.
From Qt source:
if (success && data) {
data->entryFlags &= ~QFileSystemMetaData::Permissions;
data->entryFlags |= QFileSystemMetaData::MetaDataFlag(uint(permissions));
data->knownFlagsMask |= QFileSystemMetaData::Permissions;
}
How this situation is handled in zip/unzip utilities?
