Description Velent 2024-05-29 18:45:09 UTC

SUMMARY
Ark cannot compress one or more directories into a 7zip archive.
If you try to create a archive directly and add one or more directory into archive, it displays a error: "The archive ‘archive.7z.001’ was not found.", if the Multi-volume Archive option is active. If it's not, then nothing happens after drag action.
Archive creation using Dolphin also does not work, even though notification about completion is sent:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Select one or more directories
3. Select 'Compress to...' context menu option
4. Select 7zip archive type
5. Click OK

OBSERVED RESULT
No archive or temporary files is present in specified location

EXPECTED RESULT
Archive is present in specified directory

KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.2.0

It seems that I accidentally selected wrong importance, I intended to select major, not crash. I can't change it now..

After some search, I found out that the problem isn't really related to directories, but to symlinks in them. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=419009#c9
