Version: SVN r816000 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources How to reproduce: 1. Open an archive file in ark 2. Select 'Extract' from the toolbar 3. Expand the path of 'Destination folder' (default is /home/user, try /home/user/test for example) 4. Click OK What happens: Ark doesn't create the directory specified in the 'Destination folder' path and nothing is extracted What should happen: Ark should create the specified directory if it doesn't exist yet and extract all files into it.
I confirm on 4.1 rc1 from opensuse repo
The current trunk has a refined extraction dialog that allows creation of subfolder. But the usage defined here is still not possible, so I changed the bug to a wishlist item that I will look into later.
This is a bug and not a wishlist item, since ark does not warn the user that the folder was not created but just extracts to a path the user did not define. I don't think that notifiying the user about a failure is a feature request.
It doesn't matter whether it's classified as a bug or a wishlist item really; it's still one of the things I'm going to fix for 4.2.
SVN commit 873050 by metellius: BUG: 163108 Ark will now prompt to create unexisting directories in extractiondialog. M +33 -5 extractiondialog.cpp M +1 -0 extractiondialog.h WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=873050
Does this mean it went only for 4.2? Because I have KDE 4.1.3 (ark 2.10.999) from 3rd of November and the bug persists. I was filing a bug report when I found this one.
@Bartemius: yes, the change was only for 4.2 version. I unfortunately did not have time for a lot of backports for 4.1.3, and since the extraction dialog is entirely redesigned for 4.2, I could not use the patch for 4.2 just like that in 4.1.3.
