Description empyreal 2021-08-22 15:57:48 UTC 
I can open and pack archives without kio_krarc.so installed.
What the point of this plugin? Is it necessary for old Linux versions?

Ark opens both zip and iso without any kio_iso.so and kio_krarc.so installed.
Dolphin and Krusader work with archives too, but need kio_iso.so to open iso files.
Why is it so?

Krarc does not interferes with the kio capabilities, so zips and tars are opened with zip: and tar: kio slaves (with some exceptions).

Ark is a stand-alone program which is often used by KIO to pack or unpack.

In recent times new slaves were added to KIO to handle more formats, but neither KIO nor Krarc can work alone.
