Description 2011-06-19 22:10:52 UTC
Version:           0.0.1 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

I remember that in kde 3.5 ark did give the user the choice to use ark internal viewer or to use the kde default application for the type of file. for examplethe user was able to use kwrite to open text files, it even existed a cofiguration dialog for that.
Now in kde 4 thats all gone.

Ark should be more user friendly giving the user more friedom to do his choices, like for example allowing the user resize the Name tab the way he wanted, currently can resize Size, Owner, Group tabs but not the Name tab.

Reproducible: Always




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38.8-desktop-2.mga2
Compiler: gcc

Currently does not appear any popup menu when right clicking files inside ark.

Matbe could appear some menu like:

Open
Open with..
Properties

This is just a small example, would be good to have ark more like a WinRAR, or a WinZip, those offer the user many choices.

This is bug 179066, so I'm marking this bug as a duplicate. Please also notice that you already opened bug 235125 last year about the same issue.
