It seems Ark want's to use the embedded viewer no matter what, but I don't know if this is in Ark or a bug somewhere else in KDE. Either option in the 'Left Click Action' box for the file type has no affect in Konqueror file manager. Other than Ark, which is opened when I click the archive in both Konqueror and Dolphin. > > > > Thank you for the quick reply, Elvis.

Should I report this as a bug somewhere else? I don't know how to look into this further. The only other graphical file manager I use is Krusader, and that opens VLC from within archives. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
