Description Rafael Linux User 2018-10-17 22:10:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
Some clients send me zipped files volumes with extension filename.zip.001 , filename.zip.002 and so on. Ark is unable to unzip those files in any way. I needed to install Peazip to uncompress the content of that kind of zip volumes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. As usual, right click on first volume file
2. Select "Extract here"

OBSERVED RESULT
Ark doesn't recognize the file as a zip file

EXPECTED RESULT
Extract content of the pack of ZIP files

SOFTWARE VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.45.0
Qt Version: 5.9.4

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
After trying several ways to make Ark extract the files (renaming files as ZIP, 001, 002 ... ) and after contact with clients that related that they were able to extract the content, I decided to try Peazip, that finally is able to extract correctly the content, following the same steps but selecting PeaZip to extract the files.

Can you try to disable the libzip plugin?

(Go to: Settings => Configure Ark => Plugin Settings)
Comment 2 Rafael Linux User 2018-10-23 00:03:22 UTC 
I followed your instructions and it worked. But I have a suggestion: If using that plugin doesn't work, why is not disabled by default? That's to say, I think that this issue will happen to all users managing this kind of files and they will find same problem. Thinking on myself, I should remember to disable this plugin each time I install a new version of my s.o. ... That's my opinion as user.

Thank you!
