Bug ID: 464860
Summary: Risk of data loss due to notification indicating
successful compression to 7zip format when in fact the
compression failed
Classification: Applications
Product: ark
Version: 22.12.1
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: bugsefor...@gmx.com
CC: aa...@kde.org, rthoms...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I compressed a folder containing 107 files (4.8 GiB in total) to a
password-protected 7zip archive.
The notification from Ark said 'Compressing 107 files (Finished)' but the
integrity test ran with Ark failed.
Then I tried to extract the created 7zip archive and the extraction failed,
confirming the compression failure.
This false 'Compressing 107 files (Finished)' could have resulted in a data
loss if I had deleted the compressed folder
before checking the integrity of the created 7zip archive.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
false 'Compressing 107 files (Finished)' can lead to data loss
EXPECTED RESULT
never say 'Compressing 107 files (Finished)' when a compression fails.
The notification must inform eventual failures instead.
