SUMMARY When unpacking a RAR archive via "Extract here" context menu function, a temporary folder is created that is not deleted after the archive is unpacked STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Unpack a RAR archive via "Extract here" context menu function OBSERVED RESULT A temporary folder is created and not deleted after the archive is unpacked EXPECTED RESULT The temporary folder is deleted once the archive is unpacked SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 Qt Version: 6.7.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thank you for the bug report. I'm having trouble trying to reproduce this issue. I don't see any temporary folders created when I use "Extract here" on a rar file, a tar.gz file or a zip file. I'd like to get some more information to try to see where the difference is between our systems and determine where the problem you're seeing might originate. I have to use right click->Extract->Extract Here - do you see the same or is Extract Here directly in the right click menu? Can you share more details about the rar file, or settings you have changed from defaults might affect this? What comes to mind: - Are you using Ark as the default application for extracting compressed files? - Have you installed any new services for Dolphin (through its settings) like Extract Here?

Yes Note that the temporary directory is hidden
Thank you for your response. Might I ask what new Dolphin services you installed? It's possible one of them is contributing to this. Also, can you share screenshots of the directory before and after extracting the rar file? To clarify what I was doing to watch the directory while extracting files: watch -n .2 'ls -la test1' This shows all files and directories, including hidden ones. I tested again with a larger RAR test file (80.5MB) but was still unable to reproduce this bug.
> Might I ask what new Dolphin services you installed? I don't actually have them, I got the question wrong Looks like there is some minimum archive size triggering this bug. Small enough archives don't leave these remnant folders
Can you please let us know the size of a file that does trigger the bug so I can try to reproduce with that?
Minimum archive size is at most 236 MB, likely lower
I tried testing with a 358MB rar file and still don't see any temporary folders created The rar file has a number of subfolders and files It may be the structure of the rar files you're working with that's different from what I'm testing with Could you please share a rar file (that is legal to share) that causes the problem you're seeing? You can use a public service like Google Drive to share it.
