Problems Unzipping the G-Recruiters’ Dashboard? No More…

UPDATE: Unzipping the files should no longer be a problem. Everything is good…

A few people have experienced problems unzipping the G-Recruiters’ Dashboard. They either get locked up when extracting the files or they are asked for passwords for certain files. This typically happens when they are using a program like WinZip or WinRAR. I suspect I know what the problem is but I don’t know how to fix it.

If you use the Windows default program to decompress the files it seems there are no problems. The majority of people follow the instructions and everything works fine. But if you hit a snag, the following is for you…

FEBE is a Firefox extension that allows you to backup your Firefox extensions and profile. In this two-part tutorial Adrai Richards explains how to backup and restore a Firefox profile.

Download the FEBE backup file for the G-Recruiters’ Dashboard. You’ll find it on the Files and Downloads page. Follow Adria’s instructions and you should be good to go.

    While trying to extract the files, I keep getting an error message that the extension is to long and asked if I want to skip it. After this happened several times, I finally stopped trying to upload the new dashboard. Any help in fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

    I had the same problem and found that if you make the name of the new folder shorter than "G-Recruiters Dashboard 022610" the file length problem goes away and it extracts.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I’lll do as you suggest.
    If that is the problem though I wonder why it only happens to some people and the rest of us?
