Bug ID: 504543
Summary: Ark inconsistent extraction behaviour with zip files
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version First 25.04.1
Reported In:
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: o...@pm.me
CC: rthoms...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Extracting a zip archive with just a single file doesn't create a directory for
said file unlike with multi-file zip archives, leading to frequently losing the
newly extracted single file(s) as the extraction doesn't update the Modified
file attribute.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download both Morse Runner archives from here:
https://www.dxatlas.com/Download.asp
2. Extract into ~/Downloads (either via Dolphin context menu or by opening Ark)
3. "MorseRunner.zip" extracts properly into ~/Downloads/MorseRunner/
4. "MorseRunner1.67.zip" extracts directly as ~/Downloads/setup.exe
----
5. (Dolphin) Sort by Modified & Newest trying to find the single file
6. The said extracted single-file doesn't get sorted as Newest.
7. Bash your head against the wall trying to find the file.
8. Find out Ark doesn't update the Modified file attribute during extraction.
9. Be glad only one file was extracted like this.
OBSERVED RESULT
- Extracting a zip archive with a single file doesn't put the file into a new
directory, leading the single file not getting an updated Modified file
attribute.
- Ark extraction doesn't update these Modified file attributes
EXPECTED RESULT
1. Extracting a zip archive with a single file puts the file into a new
directory so it can be found with Sort Modified/Newest
Or
2. Ark updates the single-file Modified file attribute so the extracted file
doesn't get lost.
