Description Bernhard E. Reiter 2006-03-24 12:47:00 UTC

Version:           2.4.0 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-13)
OS:                Linux (ppc) release 2.6.15.4-eione1

Frequently users have to split up a large archive.
Having a way to do this directly with Ark will enhance the user experience. (I am creating this wish after talking to an admin in a coporation, that had noticed this little shortfalling.)

Use cases are:
* sending encrypted file attachements which are over the mail
size limit
* splitting an archive for buring on two CDs.

The typical unix commands for this would be "split"
for splitting and "cat" for joining.
Obviously "cat" should not be used to make it more portable.

Thanks for considering this wish and thanks for creating Free Software!

Git commit bf6425d17578a31e01916e974558a8f7da09cc27 by Ragnar Thomsen.
Committed on 21/07/2016 at 18:45.
Pushed by rthomsen into branch 'Applications/16.08'.

Add multi-volume support

Support for creating multi-volume rar, 7z and zip archives was
implemented. A QDoubleSpinBox was added to CompressionOptionsWidget
which allows setting the volume size in megabytes between 0.1 to 1000.
The size in megabytes is converted by CompressionOptionsWidget to
kilobytes because 7z doesn't support volume sizes with decimals.

Creating a multi-volume archive changes the archive name
(name.part1.rar, name.7z.001, name.zip.001) so we need to re-open the
archive (the first volume) after adding files.

We only support adding files once, so add/delete actions are disabled in
Part if archive is multi-volume and non-empty.
