Description Stefan Hetzl 2003-10-31 11:36:31 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When I enter the name of a file that does not exists into the status bar with the tar:// prefix then I get the error message that this file does not exists. It would help me a lot if instead I could create a new .tar file (or .tar.gz or tar.bz2 - depending on the filename) this way.
For example, instead of saying this file does not exists a message window could pop up: "Do you want to create a new archive ?" and if answered with yes a new archive is created.

Greetings,
Stefan

You mean in Konqueror's location bar?

But how would you add items into the archive? Currently tar:// is readonly,
so this is a wish for making it able to add files to archive as well, right?

Yes of course, sorry.

Yes. I didn't know that tar:// is readonly

Is there a way to launch an archive program in such a case?

Have a nice day!

We might consider launching Ark (or another archive program) in this case, moving to kio-extras as the kio product is now obsolete.
