Description Martin Senftleben 2020-04-17 20:47:06 UTC
g to open a zip archive which was created by another program and is bigger than ~2 GB will result in an error message saying that the file is not a zip file.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. select a zip archive larger than ~3.2 GB
2. Open it with Ark

OBSERVED RESULT

as said above, Ark claims that the file is not a zip file. Since other, smaller zip files created by the same program can be opened by Ark without any problems, I guess this is a problem with Ark.


EXPECTED RESULT
The zip file should be opened and contents should be able to be extracted with Ark.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: s. above
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I am not sure where the exact threshold is. A zip archive of 4.2 GB size generates this error message, a zip archive of 3.1 GB size can be opened.

Can you launch ark from terminal using the command:
QT_LOGGING_RULES=ark.*.debug=true ark

Then try to open the problematic archive and post the output here.
