For example the bribblebox from bribble.com (available from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bribble/bribble-1.5.35.tar.bz2?download) contains a Java Archive File (jar) which is in fact a zipfile with a specific structure (The jarfile is bribble-1.5.35/server/bribble-1_5_35.jar). This archive contains the file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF twice. (Of course this is wrong and the jar-file can be considered broken). These two MANIFEST.MF files have different content, so they can be distinguished. When opening this file in mc, there are two META-INF directories, each of which contains two MANIFEST.MF files. When viewing these MANIFEST.MF files (via F3), all four show the content of the same one. It would be of course better, if mc would display only one META-INF directory with two MANIFEST.MF files. And viewing them should of course display the correct contents, not the same content for both. I hope I made the problem clear. It can be easily reproduced by downloading the above mentioned tar.bz2, unpacking it and viewing the jar-file in mc. To view the actual contents, the unzip tool can be used, for example 'unzip -l bribble-1.5.35/server/bribble-1_5_35.jar' Regards Marco }}} I would have fixed this bug, but I don't know Perl :-( I think that duplicate directories should be trivial to filter, but I am not sure of what to do with duplicate files. If you give them the same name, then the VFS will not able to tell which one to show. If you give them different name it's not obvious that these files are duplicate. Maybe give them different names like with a special character that can not occur in the filenames? Then it's quite obvious that there's something wrong with the archive.
