Thanks! *** Bug 505370 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The issue is caused by a change in kio.

User can still visually select the folder. Instead, just ignore any selected folders and add only files. We can then delete the folder checking while loop. This does not affect directory selection.

Extraction of a ZIP file with Ark: Dolphin dialog - 'Extract' button stays disabled
As a temporary workaround: you can actually press Enter key on the "Extract to" dialog to confirm, even if the confirmation button is grayed out. The main reason for this issue is that Ark uses a file-selection dialog instead of a directory-selection one. However, allowing the Enter key to work in the former is likely another bug in itself… >As a temporary workaround: you can actually press Enter key on the "Extract to" dialog to confirm, even if the confirmation button is grayed out.
You first need to click in the File input for it to work.
An other way is to click the button to go up in the folder hierarchy, then reopen the folder, in the right pane this time.
