The app ark being a capable necessary component of KDE becomes utterly useless when opening and working with archives over 80MBs with many files in it. What happens when opening an archive it has to sit there and scan thru it for no good reason, no other archive manager does this.
Hi Zakhar, we confirm the bug only if a few people are able to reproduce it easily. Ark handles situations like you described very well in general, so it needs be something specific with your archive or environment. Can you share that problematic archive (some external repository/cloud because of the size) ? Also, which version of KDE Plasma, Framework and Ark are you using?

Revision of your Ark version in bug info is "unspecified", that's why I asked. I downloaded Firefox 5.8.0.2 source archive: https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/58.0.2/source/firefox-58.0.2.source.tar.xz It's a very strong archive (tar.xz), where 1,3GB has been compressed into 236 mb. In my pc Ark takes 20 sec to open it and it's perfectly normal for that kind of archive. What do you mean by other archive managers which don't do that? I tested it on most recent 7zip 18.01 x64 in Windows 10 and after opening .tar.xz, 7zip only shows .tar file. Only if you open that, you will see real archive content and it actually takes more than 30 sec on my pc to open it. So, I would say Ark works even better in every case - opens it faster - that's one and also it opens directly content of the archive using one click, not like 7zip which takes a longer time to open it and also you need to do 2 clicks. If I misunderstood anything, please, provide more specific information from your side. 1. What version or Plasma, Frameworks (can be checked in Info Center) and Ark are you using. 2. What archive exactly and how much it takes to open with "other archive managers" (specify which one). In general, if you want any action to be taken, please, try to provide a proper bug description: https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting
Created attachment 111069 [details] attachment-30121-0.html What was meant would be for instance Winrar, a hugely popular windows archive manager, it opens huge archives momentarily, ofcourse unlike ark
Assuming the Mozilla tarball is a .tar.xz, even WinRar cannot decompress a 1.3 GB tar file instantly to show the content. The propietary .rar format might be faster, of course.
