Ark TODO

Harald currently working on

Formalize the dbus communication protocol and implement it in dolphin
Clean up the command line parameters (better names, descriptions)
- Find a solution to the current directory problem with service menus
Batch extract does not use the extract dialog information yet
The extract dialog needs to be able to settable to batch extract mode
Find somewhere in svn to stick the service menu

Things not started yet

The Ark KPart needs a way set password for protected archives
The current state of creating archives/adding files needs to be checked (So far only extracting has been worked on)
Figure out what menu elements we want for the service menu.

Some use cases for commandline options

Extracting a single file into the current directory, automatically creating a subfolder

ark --batch --autosubfolder lala.tar.gz

Same, with a dialog

ark --batch --autosubfolder --dialog lala.tar.gz

Extract lots of archives into a single directory

ark --batch --destination /tmp lala1.zip lala2.tar lala3.rar

Same, but use a subfolder

ark --batch --destination /tmp --subfolder mystuff lala1.zip lala2.tar lala3.rar

Extract lots of archives into separate directories

ark --batch --destination /tmp --autosubfolder lala1.zip lala2.tar lala3.rar

Into a single subfolder

ark --batch --subfolder lala.tar.gz
