Ark currently cannot compress anything bigger than my /tmp folder could handle.
Thus Ark is to often useless for me, eg.:

tar: /tmp/kde-trawiarz/arkTnDuYF/temp_tarswBiSH/sYHoqb.tar: Only 4096 bytes out
of 10240 bytes were written
tar: Unrecoverable error: end

(my free translation from Polish!)

It is not wise that /tmp is always forced. We usually have much more free space
in our home partitions than in the root partition, don't we? And the user
should
be allowed to use the temp folder od his preference.

Thanks,
