Description Émeric Letavernier 2010-08-16 19:09:33 UTC
Version:           2.14 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

When opening a .7z archive, files inside the archive are not listed in Ark main window.
However, using dolphin's context menus still works (e.g. compress as a 7z archive or extract a 7z archive).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open a 7z archive with ark.

Actual Results:  
Ark shows an empty window.

Expected Results:  
Ark should show files packed into the 7z archive.

Additionnally to this report with archlinux, this bug seems to have been encountered on gentoo (http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332855) and red hat (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=620602) at least.

I remember that on previous versions, it worked, but can't remember when it started not to work (I do not use 7z archives every day).

Couldn't test with KDE SC 4.5.0 yet (not packaged for my distro yet).

This was caused by p7zip changing its output from version 9.04 to 9.13. For SC 4.5.0 I had changed it to p7zip's 9.13 format without knowing it would break it for 9.04.

I have committed a fix for both output formats a few minutes ago, so in SC 4.5.1 the situation should be finally fixed for both p7zip versions.

Ok, thanks for your quick answer and for your time... and sorry for not having been able to find the other bug ;-)

In Archlinux we have KDE SC 4.4.5 and p7zip already upgraded to 9.13, which explains the bug still exists... for a few hours/days, until 4.5.0 packages are ready.
