Description ariasuni 2019-01-03 15:02:20 UTC 
SUMMARY
When creating a big archive, and unlike to decompressing, there is no progression bar, only a waiting indicator in the notification applet.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. launch the creation of a big archive with a slow algorithm

OBSERVED RESULT
There’s only a waiting indicator but no indication of the progress.

EXPECTED RESULT
There’s a progression indicator like when decompressing an archive.

Comment 1 Elvis Angelaccio 2019-01-29 14:40:31 UTC 
What kind of archive are you trying to create? (tar/zip/etc.)
Comment 2 ariasuni 2019-01-30 20:26:41 UTC 
The reported behavior affects all kinds of archives.
Comment 3 Viorel-Cătălin Răpițeanu 2019-02-12 15:06:30 UTC 
The system progress bar when compressing a file is indeed not displaying the current status. Can be observed when you're adding a ~1Gb to an archive.

Git commit 97bb6421e28765aab5774c9f2633cf5304002e59 by Elvis Angelaccio.
Committed on 09/06/2019 at 09:02.
Pushed by elvisangelaccio into branch 'Applications/19.04'.

CreateJob: connect to progress() signal instead of KJob::percent()

Summary:
Another attempt at fixing #402824 after ce2f7f6690be.

This should fix progress reporting also for libzip and libarchive plugins.
The problem with those plugin is that CreateJob starts two nested threads.

The progress bar works as expected while Ark compresses files to any of the following formats: tar, tar.bz2, tar.gz, tar.lz,tar.lz4, tar.lzma, tar.z, tar.zst, zip.

The progress bar never works while Ark compresses files to 7zip or jar formats.

Comment 11 Patrick Silva 2019-09-10 20:06:08 UTC 
ops, the progress bar also does not work while creating a zip archive divided in several parts (file.zip.001, file.zip.002, etc).
