ark fails to properly handle errors when simultaniously extracting multiple rar archives

[jcfp]

Binary package hint: ark

When extracting more than one rar archive at the same time (starting each from konqueror via right click -> Extract -> Extract Here), when one of them has an error (bad archive, crc failure etc.), ark pops up an error dialog. Upon clicking "OK" on this dialog, all rar extractions are cancelled. Including the one(s) that didn't have an error.

If I don't click OK on the dialog but just leave it there, the other extraction processes continue and complete succesfully (if, obviously, they don't have any errors themselves).

This si with KDE 3.5.2 / Kubuntu 6.06

Confirming due to upstream report. I will test further to see if I can reproduce this in Hardy with KDE 3 and KDE 4. Thanks!

I can confirm this for .rar and .zip archives in Kubuntu Hardy with KDE 3

ark --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.9
Ark: 2.6.4

Currently it isn't possible to extract any files via context menu in Dolphin, but this plus the multiple-extract bug should be fixed in KDE 4.2, according to upstream.

Fix released to jaunty (also to Intrepid via the kubuntu-experimental ppa)
