Description Dik Takken 2004-02-24 12:50:19 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:          Linux

I discovered a usability problem with the zip kio slave. When some users are browsing a URL like

/home/user/zipfile.zip/

they don't understand why the 'delete' option is disabled for all listed files at this URL. 

The kio slave should either implement the 'delete file' function or enable the 'delete' menu item and explain to the user that they can only delete the whole archive file named "zipfile.zip", not single files inside that archive.

Changing zip archives IS possible, please implement it.

zip: is read-only for now. So for deleting, you would need that it can write. So it becomes bug #77127.
