Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages When using the extract->extract to... dialog and explicitly specifying e.g. /tmp/new1/new2 where /tmp/new1 does not exist, ark asks if the directory should be created but upon confirmation displays "Directory could not be created. Please check permissions." Creating /tmp/new1 first (e.g. in a shell) solves the problem. Probably a good idea to let Ark create non-existing subdirectories as well?
Implemented for the upcoming KDE 3.1.2. Thanks for the report.
