Description Unknown 2009-10-24 18:01:50 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

lzo - http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/
lzop - LZO utility: http://www.lzop.org/

This file format hasn't been updated in a while but seems to be very popular with game developers. Adding support to ark if the lzop utility is present would be nice.

After some further testing it seems LZO support is present but quite broken.
Any extracted file will result in: "An error occurred while extracting files."
LZO compression doesn't work either.

Only file listing actually works. <shrugs>

Disregard my last comment, mimes were acting up.

Comment 3 Othmane Moustaouda 2010-01-07 16:49:02 UTC

I'm adding LZO support with lzop :)

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

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

Comment 5 Philippe Cloutier 2011-07-28 17:47:18 UTC

I'm not clear on whether Ark is supposed to support LZO or not already, but if it does, the error Jerome had was already reported on #126654.

Comment 6 Davide Rossi 2016-01-05 16:30:49 UTC

I just started using lzo archives because of super fast compression speed I needed, and I just noticed that on KDE 5 Ark cannot create or open .lzo files (lzop is installed on my system). If I understand correctly from this bug report, Ark previously gained the ability to manage lzo archives, but now seems lost. 
For me it would be a nice feature to have, am I the only one? 

Ark Version 15.12.0 (Using: KDE Frameworks 5.17.0 -- Qt 5.5.1 (built against 5.5.1))

Support for LZO was lost many years ago, actually. A new read-write plugin must be written from scratch.

Comment 8 David Hallas 2016-01-18 02:10:43 UTC

I am currently working on adding support for this using lzop - I will post patches to reviewboard when ready. Currently I only have listing done.
