SUMMARY I am unable to create a new archive with Ark STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start Ark 2. Click "Create New Archive" 3. Choose a folder 4. Choose a name 5. Choose a format (I tried .tar and .tar.lz4) OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens, no archive file is created in the designated location, no error on terminal, no view change (remains on Welcome page) EXPECTED RESULT A new archive is created and opened SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: git master as of 2021-11-16 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Opening existing archives works, it just doesn't create new ones.
Can confirm the issue, the KFileItemActions plugin works fine though
I think you can, it's just that the main page is not correctly implemented and does not disappear (i already complained about that but noone did anything). Can you confirm that after all those steps you can do Archive->Add files (and you can't before the steps)?
Ah, yeah, I opened an existing archive, then chose "Create New" and it told me "The archive will be created once you add files". So it's really only the welcome page not disappearing.
