Description kyuyriibyakko 2025-06-05 07:52:39 UTC 
In the native version available on Ubuntu, Ark recognizes that it has support for rar and you can enable or disable it in the settings, but in the Snap version, even though it is supposedly enabled in the list, it does not work.

Basically, the options that are in the extensions list, but cannot be disabled, are not working.

In addition, Ark does not have the "removable-media" plug, which is preventing it from accessing files that are not on the same disk as the system is installed.

The Ark version is 25.04.1 and the Snap revision is 82

The components it says it uses are:
KDE Frameworks 6.11.0
QT 6.8.3
Ubuntu Core 24

They wrote the plug wrong, it should be "removable-media" but they wrote "removeable-media"

Is merged.

FWIW the typo has been fixed in https://invent.kde.org/utilities/ark/-/merge_requests/294, which is in version 25.08

I tested Ark 25.08, revision 88 which is in the candidate channel, it still can't extract rar files.

An error window appears saying that the extraction failed and tells me to check if there is enough space.
