KDE Plasma - Dolphin keeps opening Thunar whenever I compress anything

seeks · 2023-02-11 03:22:32

As the title describes, whenever I compress anything using the 'Compress' submenu in the right-click context menu, be it individual files, directories, whatever, it opens up the Thunar file manager when compression is finished.

I have no idea why it does this. It doesn't really harm anything, or slow anything down, but it's driving me a little mad all the same.

Anyone know what might be causing this?

Depends on where that rmb entry comes from, https://develop.kde.org/docs/extend/dol … ice-menus/
And possibly because of

xdg-mime query default inode/directory
xdg-mime query default application/zip

?

The mime stuff looks okay (dolphin and ark respectively). And unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be a normal servicemenu; digging through the system servicemenus directory (don't have a local one yet), there's nothing about compression or Ark in there at all. I checked the deprecated kservices5/ServiceMenus stuff too, just in case, but no joy there either.

Link screenshot. Is there an icon next to the action?
In doubt you could try to

strace -f dolphin 2>&1 | grep -i execv

to hopefully see what is executed when you compress sth. this way.

Here's a screenshot of what the submenu looks like:

Here's a short video demonstration of what happens when I use it (expires 2022-02-12, let me know if you need me to reupload):

And here's the output of the strace command demonstrated in the video, with only the first line (home directory) omitted:

That's ark, https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ark/files/
I'd look around in its configuration.
