Bug ID: 478590
Summary: Wishlist: add support for compressing files located on
an SMB share via dolphin
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: the.9a3e...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Hello,
I am a recent convert to Linux and Plasma from Windows. A feature that I have
gotten used to on Windows is being able to compress folders from an SMB share
(e.g. my NAS) via Windows explorer, and storing it into my local disk. In
plasma, I can do this with local files, but not with remote shares accessed
with dolphin (via smb:// or KIO, not via fstab).
I've discussed this issue in this thread. Some say that it is not worth
implementing, but I disagree. There is certainly merit to having this feature,
as a convenient option.
https://discuss.kde.org/t/compress-option-doesnt-show-up-in-dolphin-while-browsing-smb-directories-is-this-a-bug/
I'm not sure where this feature request should go, since it could be a dolphin
issue, or KIO, or just KDE/Plasma in general.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an SMB share in Dolphin (via smb://, not via mounting)
2. Rightclick on a folder
OBSERVED RESULT
The compress option isn't available
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a way to compress a file or a folder on a remote folder via the
GUI entirely.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
