Also zip files, created in 2.19 can't open ark 2.18.

Comment 2 eugene 2014-08-24 11:08:23 UTC

I confirm it, Ark-created archives has wrong format probably:

$ unzip -t file.zip 
Archive:  file.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of file.zip or
        file.zip.zip, and cannot find file.zip.ZIP, period.

I have the same problem. Zip archive created in Ark v2.19 is not recognize correctly in PeaZip(v5.4.0) or WinRAR (v4.20, via wine).

Comment 4 Jean-Francois Pirus 2014-11-02 23:24:38 UTC

Ark now creates gzip files instead of zip files when given the zip option:

WRONG On Kubuntu 14.10
$ ark -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.14.1
Ark: 2.19
$ touch oink
$ ark --changetofirstpath --add --autofilename zip oink
$ file oink.zip
oink.zip: gzip compressed data, last modified: Mon Nov  3 12:19:19 2014, from Unix

RIGHT On Kubuntu 14.04
$ ark -v
Qt: 4.8.6
KDE Development Platform: 4.13.3
Ark: 2.19
$ touch oink
$ ark --changetofirstpath --add --autofilename zip oink
$ file oink.zip
oink.zip: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

This is a different problem caused by Kubuntu, not Ark. See bug 340456.

Comment 6 Ragnar Thomsen 2015-09-18 11:25:39 UTC

Can't reproduce this with Ark 15.08.1. A proper zip file is created by Ark. If this issue persists, please file a bug at the Kubuntu bugtracker.
