Bug ID: 510165
Summary: Cannot extract unless path is specified manually
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version First 25.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Depends on: 507193
Target Milestone: ---
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #507193 +++
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an archive in ark
2. Click the extract button
3. When extract dialog box opens, the extract button at the bottom is grayed
out and not able to be clicked
OBSERVED RESULT
The Name field in previous versions of Ark used to auto populate with the name
of the archive. Now it is blank and has to be populated with the name of a
directory location for extraction instead of an archive name. This can be done
by:
A) previous directory location in the history list by clicking the down arrow
in the blank "Name" field
or
B) has to be populated by clicking on a directory in the "Places" panel
or
C) by typing a directory name in the field.
When typing a directory name in the field, if the directory name is not valid
Ark will extract to a previously used extraction location, i.e. typing '/' for
the root directory which is not writable as a regular user will allow the
extract button to become clickable and no longer grayed out. This will not
extract to '/' however, but instead extracts to the last location used to
extract an archive.
This is new behavior with updated versions of Ark on Gentoo but I cannot be
certain the exact version where it stopped working correctly.
EXPECTED RESULT
When opening an existing archive with Ark, the Name field at the bottom of the
Extract dialog box should auto-populate with the base name of the archive. The
Extract button in the Extract dialog box should be clickable. Clicking the
Extract button in the dialog box should then extract to the directory where the
archive is currently located. The directory that contains the archive to be
extracted should be the default extraction location. The Extract button in the
Extract dialog box should be able to clicked immediately without further
selections and should extract to the current directory where the archive is
located with one click unless the user chooses to select a different location
first. The name field should not require a directory selected for where the
archive is to be extracted.
