Description David Dempster 2008-08-07 02:42:37 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I mentioned this tangentially in another bug, but I thought it was worth its own feature request.

Currently, if you just open Ark without a file, it says "No archive loaded".  If you open it from the command line with a wrong filename ("ark fgruiefigrigrf") it says "No archive loaded".  If you open it from the command line with a file type it doesn't recognise ("ark old_docs.zip"), it says "No archive loaded".

It would be more helpful if those were three separate messages.
