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. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0
What kind of archive are you trying to create? (tar/zip/etc.)
The reported behavior affects all kinds of archives.
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.
Fixed in commit ce2f7f6690be1e5165ec1300affeabd5cc146e31
ark 19.04 is still showing useless ping-pong "progress bar" in notifications appet while compresses files. Reopening...
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. FIXED-IN: 19.04.3 Reviewers: rthomsen Subscribers: kde-utils-devel, #ark Tags: #ark Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D21686 M +2 -3 kerfuffle/jobs.cpp https://commits.kde.org/ark/97bb6421e28765aab5774c9f2633cf5304002e59
Still ping-pong "progress bar" while Ark 19.04.3 creates an archive. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.60.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0
Can you check which plugin are you using to creare the archive?
Created attachment 121513 [details] Screenshot showing my plugin settings
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. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1
ops, the progress bar also does not work while creating a zip archive divided in several parts (file.zip.001, file.zip.002, etc).
