Quick question: Do I still need unzip
when Ark
is installed?
I also installed unrar
and libunrar
because I occasionally need to unpack rar
archives. Ark
seems to be able to handle it. What makes unzip
better?

I don’t think you need unzip
. However, some of the other tools are used by ark
.

I think it is not about one being “better”, more a matter of what you prefer.
I don’t think so either. I just installed Ark on an Arch install and it gives me right click extract archive here etc.
If you use KDE, just enable “open archives as (in?) folders” in Dolphin. Problem solved. Just one click on the archive.
