Yes. Though I meant that ark should try automatically all the plugins until one
of them opens the archive.

 @Elvis: I know libzip reports some sort of corruption, but the file can be
uncompressed with no problems whatsoever not just by 7zip on Linux, but also by
7zip 16.04 on Windows, Linux's unzip 6.00, WinRAR 5.40 on Windows, the built-in
compression/decompression in Directory Opus (a Windows file manager) and
Windows 10's Windows Explorer. Also, as I mentioned before, Ark extracts it
just fine with libzip disabled -- I assume it's the InfoZip plugin doing the
work in this case, but that's something you know far more about than me.

(7zip on Windows does complain about a "Headers Error", but it otherwise
extracts the files without issue, and it's the only program of all the ones I
mention above that even complains.)

I'm not sure, but I *think* this file was created by a Mac user, for what
that's worth.

In any case, I'll gladly try all the plugins. Does that just involve disabling
all of Ark's plugins and then activating them one at a time?

@Scott: the archive you sent me (Ascoli.zip) appears to be corrupt, and libzip
does not like it. 7z does open it but it detects the corruption as well.

The only thing we could do is trying all plugins until one of them opens the
archive, but it's not going to be easy. Doing so, btw, would also help with

Disabling the libzip plugin fixes the problem partially, at least with the one
problematic ZIP file I happen to have lying around. It allows me to *extract*
files from this ZIP, but not *modify* it -- if I delete one of the files it
contains, Ark shows it as deleted, but when I close Ark and reopen the ZIP
file, the supposedly deleted file is still there.

This problem does *not* occur with ZIP files I make with Ark -- I can extract
and modify those.

I can't upload the problematic ZIP file publicly, but I'm going to mail you a
link so you can download it.

Can you try to disable the libzip plugin the ark settings and see if that
helps?

Also, cna you upload a test archive that is affected by the issue? This would
help a lot.
