Unarchive issue...

I'm running 3.2.7 on OS 10.9.2. My unarchive task have started failing for some reason...

Code: Select all: 2014-04-16 08:53:04.476 hazelworker[68303] Could not identify archive type for file: /Users/cwaldrip/Documents/Comics/Convert to Folders/TestFile.cbr

cbr is simply a renamed RAR file. It fails with cbz files, which are just renamed zip files.

This workflow has worked for a long time until recently (possibly a the last Hazel update?).

In the meantime I'm using Open with Application The Unarchiver.app, which works...

There was a change in the last version. There was an issue where Hazel was unpacking Alfred workflow files, which also happened to be zip files. Unfortunately, for me, there are certain file formats that are actually just zip files with a different name. I have to play a guessing game to determine whether it should be treated like an archive or not.

I'll look into tweaking things. If you are ok with using the commandline, can you run the mdls program on one of the cbz files and post the output? I'll use that to see if there's some sort of pattern I can exploit.

A lot of null and generic stuff, but a few look items look promising....

For CBR files...
kMDItemKind = "ComicBookRAR"
kMDItemContentType = "com.bitcartel.comicbooklover.cbr"

For CBZ files...
kMDItemKind = "ComicBookZIP"
kMDItemContentType ="com.macitbetter.cbz-archive"

That's based on proper file association (default open with) I'm assuming, but I have that setup anyway.

Here's the exact info...

Code: Select all: kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemContentType = "com.bitcartel.comicbooklover.cbr" kMDItemContentTypeTree = ( "com.bitcartel.comicbooklover.cbr", "public.data", "public.item" ) kMDItemDateAdded = 2014-04-16 20:13:21 +0000 kMDItemDisplayName = "Spells.cbr" kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = 0 kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = (null) kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = 0 kMDItemFSIsStationery = (null) kMDItemFSLabel = 0 kMDItemFSName = "Spells.cbr" kMDItemFSNodeCount = (null) kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = 20 kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = 501 kMDItemFSSize = 119704 kMDItemFSTypeCode = "" kMDItemKind = "ComicBookRAR" kMDItemLogicalSize = 119704 kMDItemPhysicalSize = 122880

And...

Code: Select all: kMDItemContentCreationDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemContentModificationDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemContentType = "com.macitbetter.cbz-archive" kMDItemContentTypeTree = ( "com.macitbetter.cbz-archive" ) kMDItemDateAdded = 2014-04-16 20:16:04 +0000 kMDItemDisplayName = "Spells.cbz" kMDItemFSContentChangeDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemFSCreationDate = 2014-04-16 20:12:42 +0000 kMDItemFSCreatorCode = "" kMDItemFSFinderFlags = 0 kMDItemFSHasCustomIcon = (null) kMDItemFSInvisible = 0 kMDItemFSIsExtensionHidden = 0 kMDItemFSIsStationery = (null) kMDItemFSLabel = 0 kMDItemFSName = "Spells.cbz" kMDItemFSNodeCount = (null) kMDItemFSOwnerGroupID = 20 kMDItemFSOwnerUserID = 501 kMDItemFSSize = 119704 kMDItemFSTypeCode = "" kMDItemKind = "ComicBookZIP" kMDItemLogicalSize = 119704 kMDItemPhysicalSize = 122880

Thanks for that. I think I might tweak it so that no matter what kind of file you give the Unarchive action, it will try and unpack it. Only in cases where it finds an archive inside will it use the extra logic to tell whether it is meant to be unpacked.
