When you try to open a symbolic link in a TAR file, you get this error message:
and when you click okay, you get this another dialog:
If you try to drag this file to an explorer folder, you get an "Item Not Found" error:
It took me a while to understand that the file in question was a symbolic link.
What I expect NanaZip to do is to at least report meaningful error messages, like "This operation isn't supported on symbolic links", so I can find a workaround immediately. Or even better, it can try opening the linked file instead of the symbolic link itself.
