Have we ? :)

Doh! I didn't realise that, when I posted about kfmexec and KUniqueApplication.
Damn. I think that ark should have support for network transparency by itself,
like many other KDE applications, and this would solve the problem.

An app should be either a plain command-line app that exits after quitting,
handling network transparency or not, _or_ a KUniqueApplication (single instance,
kind of a server app) that can handle network transparency.
A KUniqueApplication that doesn't handle network transparency is meant to break
such things.

Forwarded to Emily - please consider this a wishlist item for ark :
that it uses KIO::NetAccess to be network transparent, and when that's done, that
it says %u (one URL) or %U (multiple URLs) in its desktop file (Exec line), so that
kfmexec isn't used at all.

The other wish would be a Save As option, to save a copy of the full archive
somewhere else.

Thanks !
