Expander - unzipping on full volume hangs

[stippi]

If you try to unzip something on an already full volume, the process will just "hang" in Expander. I am not sure, I think you can just stop the operation and close the window. If you try to unzip in the Terminal, you will see that unzip is asking what it should do about the error that the device is full. Maybe unzip can be started in "non-interactive" mode? Otherwise it looks like there should be parsing of the pipe output for some known tools and error conditions at least.

Expander should set something like /dev/null as stdin.

Still present in r29603.

I wrote a patch but I can't test it now since I have no working buildsystem for X86 now ;)

[stippi]

Nice one! I am going to try on a too small QEMU image. Hopefully Expander becomes aware that something went wrong (additionally to not hanging that is). If that doesn't work, maybe unzip needs to grow a "non-interactive" command line option...

This patch maybe fixes the hang, but does Expander show an error after the extraction ? If not, it should.

[stippi]

Ok, finally got around to testing this. Yes, Expander will now simply quit and there is no error message. So while it does fix the hang, I think it wouldn't be good to apply this patch. A more general solution that would also work for other extractors and then actually displays an error would be preferred.
