Description Diego 2009-01-24 14:03:46 UTC 
Version:           2.12 (using 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1)), 4.1.96-9.fc10 Fedora)

When you add a file to the archive using the "Add File" button the file is always added to the top directory even if a subdirectory is selected. There should be an option to add a file in a subdirectory.

Moreover this bug is quite severe because there is no way to move a file in another directory in Ark (drag and drop doesn't work). I'm going to file a separate report for this.
Comment 1 Diego 2009-01-24 14:24:00 UTC 
The related "cannot move files inside an archive" is in bug #181752

Moreover if you drag and drop a file (or directory) from outside (e.g. Dolphin) to Ark the file (or directory) is always added to the top of the archive, even if you drop it a subfolder. This is probably related to the bug #181752 shortcoming.
Comment 2 Harald Hvaal 2009-01-24 18:01:00 UTC 
Being able to add items inside subfolder inside the archive is a more complicated procedure than one might think, and because of this it has not been implemented yet. This is by the add file works like this. File-roller also does it like this.
Although the code is partly prepared for it, I am still not sure when I will actually implement this, and as such I am marking this as a wish.
