Description Alvaro Manuel Recio Perez 2009-09-05 16:33:26 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Compiler:           x86_64 architecture
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When you try to create a compressed file, be it from the context menu on Dolphin or creating a new archive from an Ark window, if there is no enough space left when you add some files, Ark simply fails and the user is not informed.

Ark should give feedback to the user and explain the problem to him when files can't be added to an archive. This is especially important when this operation is initiated from the context menu of Dolphin as the user gets absolutely NO feedback.

Comment 1 Diederik van der Boor 2010-02-24 21:51:25 UTC

I've noticed ark also doesn't give any error message when you extract files to a read-only folder. Using KDE 4.4.0 here.

Comment 2 Igor Khanin 2010-10-08 11:35:32 UTC

Can confirm both issues. Working on a patch.

Comment 3 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2010-10-21 01:54:34 UTC

To keep things clear, this bug is only supposed to track the issue described by the original reporter; Diederik, can you file a separate report for the read-only bug?

Comment 4 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2010-12-08 02:19:09 UTC

Changing the default assignee in the currently open Ark bug reports to me.

Handle "no space left" messages from cliplugins

Previously, Ark didn't handle "no space left" error messages from the
cliplugins. This resulted in either the gui being "busy" continously
(clizip), or that the user didn't get any indication that there was a
problem extracting the archive (cli7z and clirar).

This commit adds a pattern (DiskFullPatterns) for catching these errors.
An errorbox is then displayed to the user. Some of the programs used in
the cliplugins, such as 7z v9.38, doesn't output a specific message,
but then a generic "Extraction failed" message is displayed instead.
