Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hello. If I go to a read-only folder in either Konqueror or Dolphin and right-click on a file/folder present there, I get a compress context menu. Inside there is a Compress To... menu item which allows me to specify format and location of archive to be created. There are also other items like RAR TAR.GZ etc. These are meant for quick creation of archives of that format (and a default name) in the current directory.

But since for read-only folders the current directory is not writable, these entries should not be displayed as they will certainly lead to error windows (which is why I think this is a bug and not just a wishlist).
