I have app-arch/p7zip installed (without the rar flag) and I do not have
either 7zip or rar/unrar packages installed here:
[I] app-arch/p7zip
Available versions:
16.02-r8 [kde +pch rar static wxwidgets ABI_X86="x32"] ["kde?
( wxwidgets )"]
~ 17.05-r1 [natspec +pch rar static ABI_X86="x32"]
Installed versions: 16.02-r8(02:26:32 24/03/24)(kde wxwidgets -pch -rar
-static ABI_X86="-x32")
Homepage: https://github.com/p7zip-project/p7zip
Description: Port of 7-Zip archiver for Unix
When I right click on a .rar archive I am offered to decompress it either via
the 'Actions' submenu:
Actions > Extract to subdirectory with 7-Zip
Or, via the 7zip submenu:
7-Zip > Extract to subdirectory
I am not offered to decompress it via the Extract submnenu, which is missing
altogether when I right click on .rar archives, but comes up on zip/bzip2,
etc.
Have you enabled what's needed under: Dolphin > Settings > Context Menu >
then type in [Search... ] "sub" and enable:
"Extract to subdirectory with 7-Zip"
I don't know what could/would show up if I had the app-arch/unrar package
installed, but from what you're saying it doesn't seem to be integrated with
the Dolphin/ark menu options.
