Steps to reproduce for extraction -Obtain large enough archive taking about 30 seconds to extract -Right click the archive from dolphin select "extract here" Results: No progress dialog, and bouncing extract icon under cursor just stops to animate after a few seconds. For compression -Open Dolphin -Right Click on a directory -Select Compress --> archive type Results: No progress dialog This is horrible when selecting a large directory causing me to revert to command line with verbose output so that I know it isn't frozen or hanging and at least I know its progress. My suggestion would be to add dialog and data speed (MB/s,GB/s) and time remaining for operation. Perhaps a nice progress bar also.
@Zakhar: I'll mark this as duplicate of bug 391361. You should open a "generic" request for the frameworks-kio product, without mentioning ark or extraction/compression stuff (because it has nothing to do with Ark). Something like "Please show a dialog for all KJob notifications" would be better. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 391361 ***
