Description Patrick Silva 2017-12-11 13:18:18 UTC 
Sometimes I download a big file divided into .001, .002, etc parts.
These parts were created with the tool below or similar
http://www.hjsplit.org/hjsplitnews/

Ark does not merge nor creates these files.
Can you add support for these kind of files please?
Thanks

See also bug 124180, which should have fixed creating multi-volume archives.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2018-01-03 15:29:32 UTC 
Dr. Chapatin, are you still not able to create multi-part files? Can you check?
Comment 3 Patrick Silva 2018-01-05 23:07:35 UTC 
Hi Nate
I can create 7zip multi-parts.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2018-01-05 23:11:05 UTC 
So the problem is that Ark can create multi-part archives, but it can't extract files from them?
Comment 5 Patrick Silva 2018-01-05 23:16:57 UTC 
I can extract rar and 7zip multi-parts too.
The issue here affects a different file type.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2018-01-05 23:43:26 UTC 
Which file types?
Comment 7 Patrick Silva 2018-01-05 23:55:18 UTC 
file type created by the software from the link available in description.
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2018-01-06 01:46:47 UTC 
So you used a tool called HJ-Split to create multi-part archives, and Ark couldn't open them. But what file format did HJ-Split output? .zip? .rar? .7z? something else?
Comment 9 Christoph Feck 2018-01-17 17:32:35 UTC 
If you can provide the information requested in comment #8, please add it.

I don't know if hj-split has a own file format. For example, if I split a file named video.mkv, the software creates multi parts named
video.mkv.001
video.mkv.002
etc

See the screenshot.

Ark can not merge nor create these files.

can you run `file` on one of those files? Let's see if we can figure out what it is.

$ file video.mkv.001

result is "matroska data".
Comment 13 Nate Graham 2018-01-17 19:42:55 UTC 
Okay, so HJ-Split does not actually produce archives at all, it just blindly splits the file into pieces. Ark can't handle these files because they're not archives. You should use HJ-Split to re-combine them, which it appears is the developer's intention, scanning their web page.
Comment 14 Christoph Feck 2018-01-17 21:27:04 UTC 
Krusader has functions to split and join files. I did not find a Dolphin service menu extension, though.
