I've repeatedly tried unpacking files with similar long, complex files from archives. Ark unpacks them successfully, but invariably cuts off the first half or so of the filename, leaving me with a filename starting with a ".", so it's hidden. I suspect it's the filenames or special characters therein that are the problem Example: Filename as contained in archive: abcd.abcd.2016.10.03.abcd.abcd.720p.HDTV.x264-ABCD.www.abcd.com.mkv resulting filename of unpacked file: .www.abcd.com.mkv I tried unpacking the same file with file-roller, it doesn't have that problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do the things I describe above 2. See for yourself.
Can you please provide more details: 1. What archive type did this happen with? 2. How exactly did you extract the archive (drag-and-drop, right-click in Dolphin, extract action within Ark)? 3. If the archive is small can you attach it to this bug report, or provide a link if it's an online archive? 4. Did you try with a more recent version of Ark i.e. 16.08?
Hi - thanks for responding so quickly!! 1. It was a .rar archive (it happened with several all with similar file names) 2. I dragged-and-dropped. I just tried reproducing the bug by opening, right-clicking the file in ark and selecting the extraction path and it worked FINE. So maybe it'ts the drag-and-drop. 3. The archive is rather large ( more than 2 Gigs) and I don't feel comfortable posting the link (I'm sorry, I know this makes things harder) 4. I'll try that and get back to you
Can you copy-paste here the *actual* filename that was cropped? Even better if you could provide the ark debug output: from terminal run $ export QT_LOGGING_RULES=ark.*.debug=true $ ark
Hi -- I'd rather not paste it here. But I'll mail the debug output to you, Elvis.

Closing for now, as discussed via email. Please reopen if you can reproduce with Ark 16.08
