Features
  • Ark uses libarchive and karchive to support tar-based archives, and is also a frontend for several command-line archivers.
  • Ark can be integrated into Konqueror, through KParts technology. After installing it, files can be added or extracted in/from the archives using Konqueror's context menus.
  • Support for editing files in archive with external programs. Files can also be deleted from the archive.
  • Archive creation with drag and drop from file manager.

gollark: > One litre of liquid water has a mass of almost exactly one kilogram, because the kilogram was originally defined in 1795 as the mass of one cubic decimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice (0 °C).[4] Subsequent redefinitions of the metre and kilogram mean that this relationship is no longer exact.[5]
