Howdy,
I think I ran into this on my old rig too. After some upgrade, I lost
the option in the right click menu. I have this issue on the new rig
and can't find anything to install that makes it work again. I
sometimes download archives. Right now, I have a lot of .zip files.
I'd like to be able to right click and chose extract here or extract to
sub-directory. I looked in Settings and Context for Dolphin and
installed everything I could find for archives but still nothing. I
also looked to see what all was installed with emerge for this feature.
It looks like I have them all installed. This is the list of installed
packages on the system.

In Dolphin, I've enabled and installed everything I can find related to
any archive. They are also all checked to enable. Still, the right
click menu no longer shows the option to extract .zip or other types
I've ran into in the past.
What is the proper tool to install for this? What am I missing? I find
it hard to believe that this is no longer a option given the vast
majority of people do this sort of thing in a GUI nowadays. I have to
be missing something.
Thanks.

Hi Dale,
Do you have "Ark" installed? I think that is the archive tool plasma
uses by default. In a post on stack exchange installing Ark worked for
one person to give dolphin the right click option to extract archives.
