Description Patrick Silva 2020-10-02 14:50:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
I tried to compress, via context menu of Dolphin > Compress > Here (as tar.gz), hundreds of jpg files located in a partition with very low free space. Ark started to compress but the operation failed without any feedback.

EXPECTED RESULT
Ark should only compress when there is enough free space in destination

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.90
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
bug 393959 is similar

While calculating the resulting tar size would be quite difficult it should not fail without an error.

Confirmed on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

bug 393959 is fixed but this one persists with Ark 22.08.1. The compression starts and then a notification falsely says 'Compressing a file (Finished)' when the it is aborted due to lack of space.

Well, bug 393959 is fixed when I extract an archive via context menu of Dolphin, but it persists when I extract directly with Ark.
Ark should check if there is suffcient free space in the destination regardless the way used to create an archive.
