With the new Ark interface, the whole extraction process has become a little confusing. Also, the new Extract dialog (that appears after one presses the "Extract" button in the "main" view) is broken in more ways that one. First, Ark doesn't seem to be able to extract into an already existing directory. If I select one, and press "Extract", it just goes into that directory instead of extracting the archive there. This is irrespective off whether "Extraction into subfolder" is selected. Second, if I then type a new name into the "Name" field, it does extract the archive. However, the name is completely ignored: if "Extraction into subfolder" is selected, the archive will be extracted into that subfolder. Otherwise, the archive will be extracted into the currect directory. In either case, that name I typed into the "Name" field is disregarded. Actually, I don't even get why the "Name" field is needed. Why not just have a button "Extract here"? Or simply bring back the old interface... STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3.

Retitling to be clear about the specific issue - I can reproduce that the Extract dialog won't function without a Name present, and that the Name doesn't appear to have an effect on where or how extraction occurs. Thanks!

The issue is caused by a change in kio. Adding my comment from the bug that was closed as duplicate: Bisect led to ``` debd9fd15a6fae6d745fa6f3b0e5e812ac163162 is the first bad commit commit debd9fd15a6fae6d745fa6f3b0e5e812ac163162 (HEAD) Author: Akseli Lahtinen <akselmo@akselmo.dev> Date: Wed Apr 9 16:47:54 2025 +0000 KFileWidget: Ignore selected folders during file selection During file selection, there's no reason to add the selected folder to the url bar (thus making it selected). User can still visually select the folder. Instead, just ignore any selected folders and add only files. We can then delete the folder checking while loop. This does not affect directory selection.

Created attachment 182524 [details] Extraction of a ZIP file with Ark: Dolphin dialog - 'Extract' button stays disabled
As a temporary workaround: you can actually press Enter key on the "Extract to" dialog to confirm, even if the confirmation button is grayed out. The main reason for this issue is that Ark uses a file-selection dialog instead of a directory-selection one. However, allowing the Enter key to work in the former is likely another bug in itself…
>As a temporary workaround: you can actually press Enter key on the "Extract to" dialog to confirm, even if the confirmation button is grayed out. You first need to click in the File input for it to work. An other way is to click the button to go up in the folder hierarchy, then reopen the folder, in the right pane this time.
