When a document is viewed or opened from within a .zip file, two directories are created in the home directory. One called 'f' and another called 'file:'. The one called 'file:' consists of the following tree: file:/home/<username>/tmp/krusader.tmp/<timestamped directory beginning with 'krArc' both f and the end of the file: tree contain a single hidden file each called .directory which contains: [Dolphin] Timestamp=2017,6,4,23,36,30 Version=3 [Settings] HiddenFilesShown=true The timestamp matches the time the file was open. These directories should be in the /tmp, or ~/tmp, if it exists, not cluttering up the home directory.
I tried it and it didn't happen using Kubuntu 17.04 and the git version of Krusader. Can you try using the git version of Krusader? There are instructions in https://cgit.kde.org/krusader.git/plain/INSTALL
Settings->Configure Krusader->General->"Temp Folder:" is used. What have you set here?
(In reply to Alex Bikadorov from comment #2) > Settings->Configure Krusader->General->"Temp Folder:" is used. What have you > set here? This seems to have been the problem Alex. I had the temp folder set to /home/bjwest/tmp/krusader.tmp, but there was no krusader.tmp. I changed it to krusader-tmp and it created it when I opened the .zip file. Is this a possible bug on it's own, or does Linux or KDE not like directories with extentions?
The default setting is "/tmp/krusader.tmp" so the dot is not the problem. In fact this works fine on my system. Maybe some invalid/old setting was not applied - hard to say. But if everything works now, I close this. There are ~140 other bug reports to investigate .)
