Edit: error correction Expected Results should be: "Ark should be able to use The Unarchiver (if av.) to _unpack_ (uncompress) archives." Thanks for the report, confirming it. FWIW, there's been a review request (https://svn.reviewboard.kde.org/r/6730) to add support for unarchiver for a while, but I haven't been able to review it (or actually setup Unarchiver on my system for tests) yet. Raphael, please have in mind that unarchiver is in active development. Next version might not be compatible with the patch from the review board link you posted, as it introduces new switches, etc. Could you add support in ark for both current and in-development version? (Similar thing is done for the unrar plugin, I think, where one plugin uses both free and non-free unrar.) As long as they don't break the current switches there should be no need to have separate code for separate versions -- in fact, if it is still at this stage of development, it might even be safer to wait for them to settle down a bit. Anyway, I'll keep that in mind when reviewing the patch, thanks. Any updates on this? The Unarchiver has reached v3.1, it seems it has a stable switches now. Thanks for the information; unfortunately not much has happened on Ark's side, as I haven't worked a lot on it lately and there doesn't seem to be an Unarchiver port for FreeBSD yet (which means I get to work on this when I switch to a Linux distro with an Unarchiver package every once in a while). Perhaps these man files could be of help: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/source/browse/#hg%2FExtra%253Fstate%253Dclosed ? :) A lot of distributions now ship unar so it would be really great if ark would support it too, especially to replace the nonfree unrar. There is a patch here: https://projects.parabolagnulinux.org/abslibre.git/tree/libre/kdeutils-ark-libre/ark-unar-06.patch *** Bug 334528 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit 6e463fa3029b8f4ef9e97923426b048e3d1c4594 by Elvis Angelaccio. Committed on 09/03/2016 at 22:46. Pushed by elvisangelaccio into branch 'master'. Enable The Unarchiver plugin With this new plugin Ark gets complete support for RAR archives, thanks to the open source The Unarchiver tool. This enables distributions to offer RAR support out of the box, without requiring their users to install the non-free unrar from third-party repositories. The plugin is heavily unit tested and is designed to be used in a non-interactive way. This means that the Ark process never has to interact with the CLI prompts for passwords or overwrite queries issued by the plugin. To do so, a temporary extraction directory is always used.
