Bug ID: 512010
Summary: SUMMARY Ark requires entering a file name in the
Dolphin extraction dialog to extract an archive
whenever there are directories at the top level of the
archive, even if the target is a directory, which is
unintuitive.

Shows that extraction requires entering a file name in the Dolphin dialog when
the archive contains directories, even if the target is a folder
SUMMARY
Ark requires entering a file name in the Dolphin extraction dialog to extract
an archive whenever there are directories at the top level of the archive, even
if the target is a directory, which is unintuitive.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1 Open Ark and select an archive that contains directories at the top level.
2 In Dolphin, choose Extract… to open the extraction dialog.
3 Select a target directory.
4 Enter any file name; extraction starts, but the entered name is ignored.
5 If the archive contains only files (no directories at top level), extraction
starts immediately without entering a file name.
OBSERVED RESULT
- This behavior differs from other archive managers (e.g., GNOME File Roller),
which allow direct extraction to a folder without requiring a file name.
- The file name field requirement is confusing and unnecessary, especially
since the name is ignored.
EXPECTED RESULT
User should be able to select a target directory and extract the archive
directly into it without needing to enter a file name, regardless of whether
the archive contains directories or only files.
