Version: 2.12 (using 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-020630rc2-generic When I select "action -> extract" it gives me the selection between "Quick extract to" which is greyed out and one preselected folder (a subfolder of my home-folder). I don't have a possibility to select a custom folder to extract to. I assume some function should open the something like dolphin to select a destination folder.
I don't know if this is really valid. The Extraction menu actually lists folders that you've recently extracted files to, not only one preselected folder. In order to select a custom folder you must click the Extract button in the toolbar. Maybe this is more of a usability issue.
Ok, you're partly right. But I think this should also be accessible through the menu, not only by clicking the buttons. I can't go on "action -> extract" to get there. As I think all actions should be accessible through the written menu (that's at least what I know from other applications), I still regard that as a bug.
I agree with you. Maybe there's even something about that in the HIG. Marking it as NEW.
I'm assigning this bug to myself, but I'm afraid it will have to wait for KDE 4.4 because of the string freeze currently in place.
This is still an issue with Ark 2.14 in KDE 4.4

Created attachment 51392 [details] Adds an Extract To entry in the Extract menu
Hi, I provided a patch which adds an Extract To entry in the Extract menu. I calls the same action as Extract but is present in the menu so it can be clicked. Since there is an action on the whole menu (for the history items) I added a condition on the menu callback to avoid a double call.
SVN commit 1184983 by rkcosta: Make it possible to load the extraction dialog from the menu. Before the Quick Extraction list, we add an action that launches the Extraction dialog and a separator. It should now be possible to launch the extraction dialog by both clicking the "Extract" button on the toolbar and via the menu (actually, it is possible to launch it by choosing "Extract To" in the pop-up menu in the toolbar, but that is a minor side-effect we can live with). Based on a patch by Simon COURTOIS, thanks a lot! BUG: 190507 CCMAIL: scourtois@linagora.com FIXED-IN: 4.6.0 M +16 -2 part.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1184983
