Version: (using KDE 4.3.5) Installed from: openSUSE RPMs I often use Ark for extracting archives containing only one file. Every time I press 'extract' button, I manually uncheck "Extract into subfolder". I think there should be some settings to be used as default or smth, or if Ark must really not have settings dialog for some reason, Ark could remember settings that were used last.
Actually, that's the only setting in the extraction dialog which isn't remembered because it's automatically "guessed" depending on whether the archive contains only one file or directory. In case your suggestion is followed, what would happen when you uncheck it for a given file, the setting is stored and you open another single-file/single-directory archive?
Well, it would be unchecked. But if that's a smart setting being adjusted automatically, then it guesses wrong, right? Because when an archive has only one file, why should it be extracted into sub-directory (named as that file)?
Hmm, it depends :) I've changed the behaviour so that single-file archives also create a subfolder some time ago, but I guess the decision isn't very popular.

In which release will it appear? I'm using KDE 4.4.1 and it behaves the same way.
4.4.3 still behaves the same way.

Thanks for CC'ing me on this. Good to see it's been taken care of! I'm using version 2.16 in (KDE 4.4.2 with Kubuntu 10.04) and it shows that behavior. Does anyone know a PPA that has an up-to-date package including this change?
Actually, as comment #7 points out, the fix wasn't properly done, so the bug has been reopened and is still present.
Raising severity -- this is not a wish, but most likely a regression. A fix will be committed soon.
