OK, I just ran a couple of more tests: - First I reproduced it in KDE 3 in Hardy, just in case. The problem is still present in Dolphin and it is a general problem for all KIO protocols, smb:, fish:., etc. Konqueror works fine. If you leave this bug open, we should update the bug description to be more general - something like "Dolphin cannot open an archive file on a KIO share in the embedded viewer" - but I am not very fluent with KDE terminology, so I've left it as is for now. - Then I tried it with Kubuntu's KDE 4 live CD. Technically the problem is _not_ present in Dolphin in KDE4. As far as I can tell, there is no way to force Dolphin to open archive files on a KIO share in an embedded viewer. It always launches the external viewer Ark, so the whole problem is side-stepped. As before, Konqueror works find with the embedded viewer. I do very much prefer the Konqueror behavior - displaying the archive files as directories. I find it much more convenient. However in KDE4 technically this is no longer a bug - it is a request for enhancement or something ... Bottom line: - in KDE3 in Kubuntu 8.4 it is still a bug - in KDE4 it is a request for enhancement. I am not sure that Kubuntu or KDE have the resources or the time to bother with the latter though ... So I guess the bug can either be marked as KDE3-only, or closed with the assumption that we will move to KDE4 sooner or later, or split into a bug and a RFE...
