Version: 2.6.4 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45" , openSUSE 10.2) Compiler: Target: x86_64-suse-linux OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.18.2-34-default Thanks for ark. Sometimes I use it, but not too often. Command-line tools (rar, tar, unzip, rm) are simpler, they don't freeze system. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a rar archive with a very big file in it, say 600 MB. 2. Click on that big file 3. Ark freezes, because it wants to create a preview Expected result: 3. No freeze :-) Some proposed solutions: 3. Time out quietly after 2 seconds, no one-click-preview if processing time to long, user will not notice that. 3. Preview file only on explicit request 3. Add a config option "[x] Do not preview [rar] files larger than [200 MB]" set by default.
Changing the default assignee in the currently open Ark bug reports to me.
Do I understand correctly that Ark haven't its Settings menu yet? I've implemented limiting preview file size with kconfig compiler, and now the question is where to place this option in GUI.
