Bug ID: 423583
Summary: wish: Add parallel compression and decompression to
ark
Product: ark
Version: 20.04.1
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Ark currently offers many compression algorithms but all of them use only a
single thread. This makes ark unsuitable for working with large archives.
I think ark would greatly benefit from providing parallel compression and
decompression algorithms. At the beginning the parallel version of bzip2 can be
added. They are many open source implementations available, for instance
lbzip2: https://github.com/kjn/lbzip2. Later other parallel implementations can
be added for example: PXZ, PLZIP or PIGZ.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux distribution: Manjaro
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.70
