Error Message

In WinRAR, if Archive.part1.rar is only downloaded, then it's able to open since the archive is ordered, so if part1.rar has 10 files, then the first 9 are complete and file 10 is half there with the other half in part2. But Ark doesn't open it, it requires the other parts.

I confirm this. Ark 17.08.0, rar 5.50, unrar 5.50

dd if=/dev/zero of=a.dat  bs=5M  count=10
dd if=/dev/zero of=b.dat  bs=5M  count=10
rar a -v3k test.rar a.dat b.dat
rm test.part*2*
unrar e -or test.part*1*

Ark can't open it, unrar can both list archive contents and extract file that isn't devided.

I can confirm the above.
ark.kerfuffle: Could not find a plugin to handle "/home/ed/Downloads/rar/test.part00001.rar"

unrar is able to list and extract, same with 7zip Linux (attachment).

Neon Git Stable, Plasma 5.12.0, KF 5.43.0, Qt 5.9.3, Ark 17.12.2
RAR 5.50, p7zip 16.02

Confirmed on Ark 20.11.70
