Description Heinz Wiesinger 2010-03-06 11:59:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.1)
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

ark as of kde 4.4.1 is unable to open xz compressed tarballs (.txz or .tar.xz), as for example used by slackware's packages.
In kde 4.3.x I was presented with a dialog where I could choose a compression format. Choosing LZMA there always worked fine. In 4.4.x I get confronted with the "Unrecognized archive" error and no way to force opening it as lzma.
I get the same result for archives ending with ".tar.lzma" and ".tlz". If I rename it to "*.tar.lz" I can again choose the compression format and everything works fine again if I choose LZMA.

Suport for txz files is already present - you need to update your libarchive package. For more information, see bug 229036.
