Fix Zinnia extraction

Resolve password, path, format, destination, and Windows RAR extraction errors in Zinnia.

Symptom

Zinnia cannot open an archive, rejects its password, or stops while extracting.

Check

Confirm the archive is complete, the password is exact, and the destination has free space and write access. Identify the format and platform before retrying.

Resolution

  1. Copy the archive to a local folder and retry there.
  2. Re-enter the password without adding spaces or line breaks.
  3. Choose a new empty destination to separate a retry from partial output.
  4. On Windows, remember that RAR extraction remains disabled with the bundled 7-Zip 26.02 while the project addresses CVE-2026-58052. Browse, test, or convert the RAR archive instead.
  5. For another unsupported format, use a tool that supports that format and retain the original archive.

Expected result

A supported archive extracts into the new destination. If the archive is damaged or its format is unsupported, Zinnia reports the failure without claiming that the data was recovered.

Escalation

Include Zinnia version, operating system, archive format, operation type, and exact error. Do not send a password or private archive.
