Bug ID: 374286
Summary: Zip archive created with Ark is not zip, but gzip ->
unusable under Windows etc.
Product: ark
Version: 2.19
Platform: Mint (Ubuntu based)
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Sample zip file from Ark containing gzip format archive instead of zip
[Ark 2.19, KDE 4.14.2 on Linux Mint 17.3, Dutch locale]
Reproduce:
- Start Ark
- New -> Save as -> e.g. test.zip -> Save
- Add File -> select files -> Open
- Close Ark
Check from the command line:
~ > file test.zip
test.zip: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Thu Dec 29 13:19:53

(also see attachment)
Identical result from Dolphin context menu:
- Start Dolphin
- Select one or more files
- Right-click on files -> Compress -> As ZIP archive
Using zip from the command line does result in a correct zip file.
The result from Ark is not a normal zip file, and Windows users can't open it.
This is a major problem for users who are not familiar with using zip from the
command line.
Note: this appears to be the same bug as #333835
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333835 from 2014, but it is not (yet?)
resolved in Mint 17.3 AFAICT
