KDE forum thread here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/is-ark-a-wrapper-for-rar/12451 Changing "compression method" from RAR4 to RAR5 fixes the issue, but has to be done every time an archive is created on either methods. This is not so much a *bug* as it is KDE needing to play *catch up*: RarLabs have removed the ability to *compress* using RAR4 compression as from the new RAR 7.0.0 version; from the RAR 7.0.0 'whatsnew.txt' file within the package: ~~~ 6. Creating archives in RAR 4.x format isn't supported anymore. Options and switches specific for this format are removed. It doesn't affect RAR 4.x archives decompression, which is included into RAR. ~~~ The default selection via KDE/ark is RAR4; selecting RAR5 compression works as expected. The *fix* in this instance will be comparatively easy; remove the ability to select RAR4 compression, leaving RAR5 as the remaining default. I trust this information will save someone some time. Cheers. PS: Thanks to Bedna for reporting the issue (Vi ses snart, på Manjaro-forumet).
