KDE Utils/Ark

Current most critical bugs

• Bug 193908: There must be a way to tell the worker thread to stop when the GUI is being closed.
• Bug 204323: Support for remote locations must be implemented (shouldn't be too hard).

Ark Plans

KDE 4.4

See the feature plan for KDE 4.4.

• Add visual feedback for the operations in the status bar
• Add a proper way to display a notice to the user when autosubfolder is enabled in the extraction dialog
• Make single/double-clicking an entry open the file in the default launcher instead of using the internal previewer (which shall become a context menu option)
• proper cancel support and no crash if closed during exctraction
• letting a plugin try to open something and possible fail, basically rework the plugin management
• more GUI means a settings dialog for example. I also would like to share more functionality with dolphin as we discussed once (other view modes etc)
• finish AddDialog
• general code cleanup and api doxyfication

Personal TODOs

Harald

• Formalize the dbus communication protocol and implement it in dolphin
• BUG: After opening file from web, automatic subfolder detection name is confused
• BUG: extractiondialog is confused by "/" in subfolder name
• Check if we want the two last patches in bug #155220
• Revert the single folder label
