Description Piotrek 2021-11-02 22:45:45 UTC
SUMMARY
When using Krusader, right click on not empty directory and selecting `Compress => Here (as ZIP)` does nothing. Also selecting `Compress as...` and clicking OK does not work too. Compressing worked some time ago.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Create not empty directory
2. Right click on directory and choose Compress => Here (as ZIP) 

OBSERVED RESULT

Nothing happens, no zip archive created.

EXPECTED RESULT

Compressed ZIP file should be created in same directory

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I think this is not related to ZIP directly. Seems like this context menu is not working at all because compressing as tar.gz also does not work.

I tried it (using the git version of Krusader, under Kubuntu 20.04 and under Kubuntu 21.04) and no problem was seen. If you can follow the steps of
    https://commits.kde.org/krusader?path=INSTALL
then you can build the git version of Krusader, use its latest features, etc. 
If you have been able to do it, is your problem solved?
Comment 2 Toni Asensi Esteve 2021-11-21 23:57:08 UTC
It seems that this problem is related to the one described on <https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441376>, which happens with newer software. There's a proposed solution on https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/merge_requests/73

I have same issue on arch linux. It is not just zip, save is unzip for "unzip archive here". The Extract tab works in dolphin correctly. I expect that it is using ark.

After some fight with arch linux I've managed to install krusader from git repo and it works now. It creates zip files when I use context menu. What I don't get is why after packing files and creating zip, Krusader opens dolphin with directory that contains archive... But it works so it can be marked as solved now. Thanks

If it may help you, Davide Gianforte wrote about that on https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/merge_requests/73#note_344383

If you want the INSTALL file (https://commits.kde.org/krusader?path=INSTALL) to be changed, you can log in invent.kde.org (you can register on https://identity.kde.org/index.php?r=registration/index), go to https://invent.kde.org/utilities/krusader/-/blob/master/INSTALL , edit that file there, and so some developer can approve your changes.
