in Ark 20.12.2 I select "folder" to extract, right click and select /my/destination/path/ and result is

/my/destination/path/archive/sub1/sub2/sub3/folder

instead of:

/my/destination/path/folder

When i do it via Extract button, extraction has options:
Extraction into subfolder
Preserve paths when extracting

i have tried both, but none achieve what i have described. So how to make this archiver extract mine selected folder without its parent empty folders please? I was used that archivers extract to /my/destination/path/folder by default but no, this one makes trouble >:(


I hate outdated KDE bug tracking system, i like Gitlab.

This is not Arks fault, but the way the package was made in the first place. Complain to the package author.

FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

I think that it is Ark fault, because no matter how the archive was created, i should be able to extract selected parts from the archive. Like this: In Arch browse to some sub-directory of the archive and extract just this one without Ark creating that redundant path as i have described. Or there should be checkbox which i need to check so Ark retain parent directories structure of the archive should i want it that way.
