What kind of file (i.e mime type or file extension) are concerned ? Is ark installed ?
>Is ark installed ? Will almost certainly be this. Marking as needs info
Hi, Ark is installed. So I have 2 setups, on my workstation the integration is there, but it was a upgrade of ubuntu 23.10 to 24.04 (but it's 5.27.9). The Neon is a new installation (upgraded to latest) and it's missing integration. Please let me know how I can help. I'm not an dev but an sysop and can do a lot of testing.

Are both Ark and Dolphin using Qt6? You can find out in their "About [app name]" menu items.
No, Ark is using: Qt Version 5.15.11 (built against 5.15.11) Dolphin is using: Qt Version 6.6.0 (built against 6.6.0)
Yep, that's the problem. Both need to be built with the same version of Qt, or else the Ark plugins aren't compatible with Dolphin and don't show up. Ark has a Qt 6 build, so this is a Neon packaging issue. Moving over there.

Moving over there. This is not a packaging issue, ark is not fully ported to Qt6 yet, which is something upstream needs to sort out. For applications (not libraries), I interpret having a Qt6 build option under a cmake flag as "Qt6 version is not ready yet for production"
What's missing? Seems to build okay with Qt6 for me, and on the master branch too. If you're referring to the BUILD_WITH_QT6 build flag, I'm not actually sure what this is for but it seems to be turned on globally for everything build using kdesrc-build, so it's not an Ark-specific issue?
It is not listed here [1] as ported to Qt6. Applications listed there don't have a Qt6 cmake build option, they simply only support Qt6. My understanding is that if an application is not listed there, the Qt6 port is not meant to be shipped [1] https://community.kde.org/KDE_Gear/24.02_Release_notes
Created attachment 163993 [details] Built against Qt 6.6.0 I think it might just be missing from that page (or whatever data source it used to feed it?). My Ark says it's been built just fine against Qt 6.6.0, and I can see its plugins in the context menu of Dolphin and Plasma's desktop, which are also fully Qt6 compatible.

I'm not saying it can't be built with Qt6. I'm saying the maintainer (or whoever is responsible for that decision) still haven't declared the Qt6 version ready for production.
Got it. Looks like there's a mailing list thread about changing this.
neon's policy is to package qt6 apps when master is qt6 only, thus ark is still qt5 in unstable. however experimental which builds on top unstable has alpha qt6 apps including ark. installing the neon-settings-experimental package will upgrade any qt5 apps installed that have a qt6 variant in the experimental archive. or manually install the ark deb from https://archive.neon.kde.org/experimental/pool/main/a/ark/
ark made the qt6 tarball list https://community.kde.org/KDE_Gear/24.02_Release_notes so qt6 arc has been removed from experimental and added to neon unstable
Works! Ark integration is back in Dolphin.
