Package:           ark
Version:           v2.1.9 (using KDE 3.0.1 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-4GB
OS/Compiler notes: 

Lo
I'm experiencing unexpected behaviour of the ark program. I'm using Suse 8.0 Professional (Konqueror 3.0.0 and Ark 2.1.9)
This is what I do:
I right-click on an archive (I have tried zip and rar archives) in konqueror and select the 'extract to...' option. The extract dialog appears. In the extract to form I change this line:
file:/<path to archive>/
to this line:
file:/<path to archive>/<empty directory>/
(where <empty directory> usually is the archive-name with the extension stripped - foo.bar.zip -> foo.bar)
and I press Enter. The archive is then extracted in the directory <path to archive> and not in the directory <empty directory> which I entered. It looks like the entry isn't updated when I press the Enter key.

In addition I would like to ask if maybe an option can be added to the popup-menu. What I would like to see is that when one right-clicks on an archive in konqueror there would be an option in the popup-menu that says 'Extract to <archive name without extension>'.
So right-clicking on a file called foo.bar.zip would give the option 'Extract to foo.bar/'

An option like this would be very usefull for me, since most of the time I just need to extract the archive and do something with the files that were in it (usually reading/looking at/running them) and then I would delete the directory again when I'm done. If an extra option would clutter the popup-menu you could also consider adding an Ark submenu and put the extract options in there, but I doubt that would be necessary.

Thank you for reading all this.
