Ark is a program for viewing, extracting, creating and modifying archives. Ark can handle various archive formats such as tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, rar, 7zip, xz, rpm, cab and deb (support for certain archive formats depend on the appropriate command-line programs being installed).
...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.

Top for so much translations!
The pre-configured directories aren't located to linux mint. (you can handle it yourself, so nothing dramatical)
Drag and Drop do not work :'/ or I just didn't get it to work. All-In-One: It's good for user which had , if you are a noob without Drag and Drop files, it isn't for you.
But you have to recognize I don't use it main.

It's nice that it is standard with KDE...
