Description Neal Gompa 2025-01-18 17:24:11 UTC 
SUMMARY
Ark seems to be incapable of allowing the user to drag a file from an archive opened in Ark to a GTK application. It works fine with Qt/KDE applications.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an archive of a file (picture, text file, etc.) with Ark
2. Open the archive in Ark
3. Try to drag one of the files to Firefox

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file extracts to a temp location and opens in Firefox.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora Linux 41 (KDE Plasma)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've tested with Firefox, Inkscape, Nemo, Dolphin, and Krita. It works with the latter two Qt/KDE applications, but none of the GTK ones.
