Bug ID: 453452
Summary: creating 7zip archive of ~/.mozilla or ~/.thunderbird
folder fails
Product: ark
Version: 22.04.0
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: plugins
Assignee: rthoms...@gmail.com
Reporter: s_chriscoll...@hotmail.com
CC: aa...@kde.org, elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Attempting to create a 7zip archive of either the ~/.mozilla or ~/.thunderbird
folder results in a successful message popup ("Compressing 155 files
(Finished)"), but the .7z file is never created. This message pops up
immediately as well, which means file processing is actually performed.
If you try to create the archive by manually launching Ark and clicking "Create
New Archive...", when dragging either of the aforementioned folders into Ark,
nothing happens.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure you have launched Firefox or Thunderbird at least once to create
their configuration folders.
2. In Dolphin, right click either ~/.mozilla (for Firefox) or ~/.thunderbird
(for Thunderbird) and select "Compress" -> "Compress to...".
3. When the compression window pops up, choose your preferred filename, select
"7-zip archive" for the type and click OK.
OBSERVED RESULT
A popup says something like "Compressing 155 files (Finished)", but the .7z
file is never created.
EXPECTED RESULT
The .7z file should be created.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon 5.24 User Edition
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can reproduce this bug in a KDE neon install within VirtualBox and also using
fresh Thunderbird and/or Firefox profiles.
