Description John Veness 2024-06-29 17:42:19 UTC
SUMMARY
It would be great if Ark could open .wim files, as used for Windows installation images.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to open a .wim archive in Ark

OBSERVED RESULT
Loading the archive ‘...boot.wim’ failed with the following error:
No suitable plugin found. Ark does not seem to support this file type.

EXPECTED RESULT
The .wim file to be opened in Ark.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
As I understand it, p7zip supports .wim files (indeed, "7z l boot.wim" shows a file listing). I have the 7z plugin activated in Ark.
