ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 ono 2025-08-17 22:17:14 UTC
Can also reproduce it on arch with ark 25.08.0. 

"Open Ark -> New Archive -> Select a hidden folder or file -> Ark will (falsely) report The archive <path> will be created as soon as you add a file."

When using it from the context menu in dolphin, it will say the archive has been created but its not there in the directory and clicking on the path in notification will give an error from KIO Client "The file or folder <path> does not exist."

Didnt notice any errors or problematic log items in journald.
