The error.

SUMMARY
"karc: write support is disabled.
You can eble it on the 'Archives' page in
Konfigurator."

This happens when opening files in krarc: protocol on dolphin, and trying to drag files out of it. I was super confused about what this meant because konfigurator doesn't complete in krunner, plasmashell's start menu, or anywhere else. But it's actually a krusader setting, it calls its page 'Konfigurator' because I guess its settings are that special. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open up a zip inside KDE, with krarc, I open it like any other folder
2. Drag some files out, confirm by holding shift when releasing or confirming the prompt
3. Observe error spawn

OBSERVED RESULT
Being pointed to "Konfigurator", having no idea what it is, finding out finally and annoyed at how obtuse the error message was

EXPECTED RESULT
Being directed to Krusader's settings
