Created attachment 186733 [details] Shows that extraction requires entering a file name in the Dolphin dialog when the archive contains directories, even if the target is a folder SUMMARY Ark requires entering a file name in the Dolphin extraction dialog to extract an archive whenever there are directories at the top level of the archive, even if the target is a directory, which is unintuitive. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1 Open Ark and select an archive that contains directories at the top level. 2 In Dolphin, choose Extract… to open the extraction dialog. 3 Select a target directory. 4 Enter any file name; extraction starts, but the entered name is ignored. 5 If the archive contains only files (no directories at top level), extraction starts immediately without entering a file name. OBSERVED RESULT - This behavior differs from other archive managers (e.g., GNOME File Roller), which allow direct extraction to a folder without requiring a file name. - The file name field requirement is confusing and unnecessary, especially since the name is ignored. EXPECTED RESULT User should be able to select a target directory and extract the archive directly into it without needing to enter a file name, regardless of whether the archive contains directories or only files.
