Description Ricardo 2009-03-17 23:19:14 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Comicbook generator should accept files cba files (using the ace format), currently it support other similar format (cbr, cbz...)
Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2009-05-25 18:46:29 UTC 
The Ark guys recently had huge problems with the non-free unace command-line decompressor (bug #192925), especially that unace can trunc file names when decompressing/testing an archive (thus making the reading of the file list unpredictable).
On the other hand, the free unace decompressor stops at an old version of ACE, which I suppose is no more widely used among ACE users... (looks like the same situation with RAR, sigh) so it is mostly unuseful.

I'm almost inclined to reject the bug, but for technical reasons.

As far as i see from the ark bug report, fixing this will require a too much work, so I agree closing it
Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2009-05-25 19:23:51 UTC 
Closing then, sorry again.
(Another reason why proprietary file format suck: if what you get for them is buggy, you cannot do anything about that.)
