The Dolphin/libkonq action "As ZIP/TAR Archive" actually makes a GZIP compressed TAR archive, but it is obvious for users that it should create a ZIP instead. Please change "ZIP" to "GZIP" in the above mentioned string. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click right mouse button in the Dolphin view area. 2. Select Compress -> "As ZIP/TAR Archive" 3. This will create a .tar.gz archive which is not expected.
Indeed, and it has been misleading since 2009... I've mailed the kde-i18n-doc list to ask for a string freeze exception so I can commit a patch to 4.13 as well as master.
Thanks Raphael! And OK from the Russian team :)
Git commit abb9c2136f9a26452a6d44317686bf4079dd99d8 by Raphael Kubo da Costa. Committed on 28/04/2014 at 10:38. Pushed by rkcosta into branch 'KDE/4.13'. Make it clear that a "ZIP/TAR archive" is actually a "TAR.GZ archive". This bug had been present since 2009's 89705d12... Saying "Compress as ZIP/TAR archive" is really confusing, as these two normally refer to two different archive formats. Instead, say "TAR.GZ archive", which is what we are really creating with this context menu option.
