Maybe you can try disabling libzip plugin in Ark settings as a workaround. Info-zip and p7zip support Implode, but libzip does not support Implode. If libzip plugin is enabled in Ark then Ark will prioritize libzip. I just tried disabling the libzip plugin, and it worked just fine then- is this a bug with libzip then? Thanks for your help here. I am not Ark developer, but I wish that Ark can switch to another plugin automatically when it finds that files in the ZIP archive is using a method not supported by libzip. You can also try asking libzip to add Implode support, but I wonder whether they will implement Implode because Implode is no longer used nowadays. *** Bug 476922 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** As this is still an issue, what are some possible fixes? It seems to me that adding a fallback would help with the issue. The popup would also need to be more helpfull, maybe help it detect what is not supported by libzip and suggesting that you install 7zip Personally I also wouldn't mind if libzip is deprecated and 7zip is a required dependency. This would solve this issue and also solve the confusion around having to download 7zip for .7z support. This is more inpactfull though *** Bug 478008 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I encountered this today when extracting a very popular game mod. Of course, the workaround of disabling "libzip" worked, but anyone with a default KDE installation who tries to extract that mod will encounter this, which is a huge problem for the desktop's popularity. It makes the Linux ecosystem look much worse than it should, since even the Windows built-in compression tool can handle that game mod. I suggest that this be made a high-priority issue to prevent common gamers from feeling like the Linux ecosystem is not ready for daily use. Disabling the libzip plugin in Ark did not work. Here's how I solved problem "Compression method not supported": I could extract the file with p7zip by renaming the file from .zip to .7z and then decompressing with p7zip (p7zip -d "./file.7z") 7z x "./file.zip" and 7za e "./file.zip" work as well. It does show ERRORS: Headers Error but it did extract files. That's with 7-Zip [64] 16.02 which is the version in the Debian repos. It shouldn't have this headers error. *** Bug 506685 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 141089 [details] The zipfile Ark fails on extracting SUMMARY Ark can't unzip the attached zip file (ntraid01.zip)- it can be unzipped using 7zip 16.02. The message shown is: There was an error while extracting ‘/home/steve/games/DOS-games/ntraid01.zip’: Failed to open 'GRAPHICS.NRD': Compression method not supported STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open folder in Dolphin containing zip file 2. Right-click on zip file (ntraid01.zip) and choose Extract here, auto-detect subfolder. OBSERVED RESULT Ark fails with "There was an error while extracting ‘/home/steve/games/DOS-games/ntraid01.zip’: Failed to open 'GRAPHICS.NRD': Compression method not supported" If you try extracting this with 7zip 16.02, it works fine. EXPECTED RESULT Ark extracts the zip file the same as 7zip does.
