Has a useful GUI.
It's nice that it is standard with KDE...
...however: It hardly ever works - I think on half my KDE installs it either did not work at all or only permitted the standard compress from within dolphin.
At first I kept blaming KDE and Dolphin but it turns out that Ark itself is to be blamed as it accepts file but not directories.
So, what's use of such packer? None :(
This is really the best 7Zip Alternative for Linux with a easy to use GUI.
I love 7Zip for Windows NT, XP and 7. But in Linux there is Ark, also there are a lot of other things, just they cant reach the level of Ark.
