Description Pau Tallada Crespí 2005-04-30 15:08:04 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Hello,
first sorry for my English.

By now, the last KDE 3.4 version adds support for 7zip compression format.
Its included in the ark GUI, but in my installation (debian sid) the context menu for compressing a folder or an archive as a 7z archive is missing.
I don't know if its present in English localized KDE, in my version (catalan localized) it does not appear.

Thank you very much for your support.

Yep, remove the .bz2 and .gz and add .7z -- we get warnings if we directly use bz2 and gz without tar, anyway...

Comment 2 Haris Kouzinopoulos 2006-03-27 22:40:41 UTC

The .bz2 and .gz were removed when the user selects multiple files. I think that ark doesn't yet have good support for .7z in order to add it to the context menu

Hi,
ark lets you to create and open 7z files through the standard open and create dialogs, as long as p7zip is installed.
I think it should expose in its context menu all the formats that are supported. If not, the user has to open manually ark to create a 7z file.

PD: Sorry my bad English.

Support for 7z is pretty broken at the moment. It works for some archives, but 
not for most. As soon as I fix all known problems, it can be added to the 
context menu. If everything goes well, this can happen in the next KDE 
version, 3.5.3.

I think this bug is fixed in KDE 3.5.6

Hi!

Yes, It's already fixed.

Thanks!

Changing the component to general so we can remove "Konqueror Plugin" from the component list (doesn't make sense in KDE4).
