-------------- Inconsistency in handling rar files ------

Previously I noticed that when I add a rar file, epub, mobi, etc. files are extracted,
but html, txt - rar file remains.
Now, when adding both epub and mobi - I see that epub is also not extracted.
Which is strange, because there is no point in keeping zip inside rar, while it perhaps would be useful to keep mobi rarred.
Then, experimenting with adding a bookt at a time, I sometimes get mobi not extracted too. No consistency. Even with the same files, does not depend on the file name.

And, turns out, rar is no good - I cannot extract metadata from rar or to open rar in the viewer or to convert to another format.

Yet, clearly Calibre supports rar format, it is listed and it is SOMETIMES extracted.

Seems like another bug?

Yes, rar is no longer extracted if inside is epub, but extracted if inside is mobi. It seems.

Maybe because I deleted all the books multiple times and db got corrupted somehow?
Deleted db - still rar.


UPDATE:

I tried 32-bit Calibre: it imports epub from rar correctly - I get epub, not rar.
When importing html, still useless rar. But it is possible to convert it later to epub.
So, I guess, it is ok then.

But that is 32-bit Calibre. Because it is acting differently than the main 64-bit Calibre, it only confirms that it is another bug, I think.

So, BUG REPORT #2 - see above.
