Does not work with KDE Ark
Does not work with KDE Ark (20.12.3) because of two reasons:
1] wrong tap filename ark.tap
In my system (Kubuntu 21.04), the Ark desktop file is org.kde.ark.desktop
, thus the tap filename should be changed to org.kde.ark.tap
.
2] wrong command line arguments for ark
Ark does not use --extract-to
, nor --extract
. I would change the tap file to:
#!/bin/sh
#
# org.kde.ark.tap - Wrapper script to create and extract archive files
# in Thunar, via the thunar-archive-plugin, using the
# KDE ark archive manager.
