Description bve 2009-04-24 14:12:06 UTC

Version:           2.12 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-020630rc2-generic

When I select "action -> extract"  it gives me the selection between "Quick extract to" which is greyed out and one preselected folder (a subfolder of my home-folder). I don't have a possibility to select a custom folder to extract to. I assume some function should open the something like dolphin to select a destination folder.

I don't know if this is really valid. The Extraction menu actually lists 
folders that you've recently extracted files to, not only one preselected 
folder. In order to select a custom folder you must click the Extract button in 
the toolbar. Maybe this is more of a usability issue.

Comment 2 bve 2009-04-30 10:54:23 UTC

Ok, you're partly right. But I think this should also be accessible through the menu, not only by clicking the buttons. I can't go on "action -> extract" to get there. As I think all actions should be accessible through the written menu (that's at least what I know from other applications), I still regard that as a bug.

Comment 3 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-04-30 14:31:44 UTC

I agree with you. Maybe there's even something about that in the HIG. Marking it as NEW.

Comment 4 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-05-25 01:53:12 UTC

I'm assigning this bug to myself, but I'm afraid it will have to wait for KDE 4.4 because of the string freeze currently in place.

Comment 5 Oded Arbel 2010-03-14 11:43:33 UTC

This is still an issue with Ark 2.14 in KDE 4.4

Adds an Extract To entry in the Extract menu

Comment 8 Simon COURTOIS 2010-09-07 16:22:05 UTC

Hi,

I provided a patch which adds an Extract To entry in the Extract menu.
I calls the same action as Extract but is present in the menu so it can be clicked.

Since there is an action on the whole menu (for the history items) I added a condition on the menu callback to avoid a double call.

Comment 9 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2010-10-12 05:08:49 UTC

SVN commit 1184983 by rkcosta:

Make it possible to load the extraction dialog from the menu.

Before the Quick Extraction list, we add an action that launches the
Extraction dialog and a separator. It should now be possible to launch
the extraction dialog by both clicking the "Extract" button on the
toolbar and via the menu (actually, it is possible to launch it by
choosing "Extract To" in the pop-up menu in the toolbar, but that is a
minor side-effect we can live with).

Based on a patch by Simon COURTOIS, thanks a lot!
