When Ark fails to unpack a rar archive, it says something like "an error occurred while extracting...". This can be caused by corrupt files or by a too old unrar execulable, but Ark does not tell this to the user. Please give the user a hint and tell them about the possible causes.
Comment 1 Haris Kouzinopoulos 2006-03-28 01:56:22 UTC 
There are many reasons why an extraction should fail. I think that this is a WONTFIX. It would be ugly that ark presented a list of possible causes each time an extraction failed.
Comment 2 Haris Kouzinopoulos 2006-04-04 13:17:32 UTC 
Error messages sould be improved, but as i said, it is very bad usability to present a list of possible causes each time an extraction failes
