libzip does not support multi-part / split-volume ZIP archives: https://github.com/nih-at/libzip/issues/429 https://github.com/nih-at/libzip/issues/307 (In reply to 2wxsy58236r3 from comment #2) > libzip does not support multi-part / split-volume ZIP archives: > > https://github.com/nih-at/libzip/issues/429 > https://github.com/nih-at/libzip/issues/307 I'm not saying libzip needs to support multi-part / split-volume ZIP archives. My issue is not with libzip; it is with how Ark implements libzip among its other plugins. Ark should give people the option to create and open multi-part ZIP archives even when the libzip plugin is enabled, if any enabled plugin supports multi-part ZIP archives. If the user selects that they would like to create a multi-part ZIP archive, this should make Ark automatically fallback to some other plugin besides libzip. This would make functionality smoother for all Ark users who wish to use libzip for better non-multipart zip support and occasionally need to create multipart zip archives. My point was that multipart archive support gets disabled when libzip is enabled, even though plugins that support multipart archives are still enabled. Since plugins that support multipart archives are enabled, not allowing multipart archives as an option is unintended behavior that should be fixed. |
Created attachment 180039 [details] Libzip disabled SUMMARY With the Libzip plugin enabled, Ark does not allow creating multipart archives. However, upon disabling this plugin, multipart archives immediately become possible to create. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable all plugins, including 7z and Libzip 2. Attempt to create a new multipart zip archive. Note that the menu is grayed out. 3. Disable Libzip 4. Note that the multipart menu for the zip format is reenabled. OBSERVED RESULT Creating multipart archives are unavailable when the Libzip plugin is enabled, but available when 7z is used (by disabling Libzip). EXPECTED RESULT Creating multipart archives is possible in Ark when Libzip is enabled.
