When uninstalling the Kile text editor with zypper and --clean-deps, one of the dependencies removed was the zip package. Removing that package appears to have re-enabled the ability to compress and extract zip files using the kde dolphin context menu. However anyone who installs the Kile program in the future will have the 'compress/extract' context menu in dolphin broken. |
Created attachment 185878 [details] a collection of screenshots of the error messages that occur when using the context menu options alongside a list of the plugins that are all enabled on ark SUMMARY When I try to extract a zip file in dolphin using the 'extract' section of the right click context menu, I get an error saying 'Failed to load a suitable plugin. Make sure any executables needed to handle the archive type are installed.' A similar issue happens when attempting to compress a file/folder using the 'compress' section of the right click context menu. Extracting and compressing files directly in Ark still works fine. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Right click on zip file and select 'extract', alternatively right click on folder/file and select 'compress' 2. Make sure to use the dolphin context menus not the ones related to Ark OBSERVED RESULT Extraction and compression fails when using the dolphin context menus forcing user to use the ark program directly EXPECTED RESULT Files should compress and extract normally when using the built in dolphin context menus.
