Extract Here

Why has this right click option been removed from OpenSuSE10.2?
Is it KDE doing this or the distro? Did a GNOME employee infiltrate KDE?
How can I re-enable it?

I've got a Kubuntu 6.10 desktop around(KDE 3.5.5) that still has that
option. Is Ark installed?

I'm also using KDE on 10.2 and a right-click on a .gz file gives a drop-down
menu which includes "extract" and that expands to give another menu which
includes "extract here".

Yes. And there is an Extract To option but it has no options for where to
Extract to. It opens this cumbersome dialog where you have to wait for an
applet load, click ok etc...Same functionality but not nearly as efficient.

Yes this is what is missing on mine.

Who owns the folder where the file you're trying to extract is stored? If I
right-click from my user login on a file owned by root, I get the same
symptom you are describing. You can't extract to a folder you don't own.

G,

you are suffering conspiracy theories. It is here on my system.

In Ark, can you disable and reenable the Konqueror integration, please?

After doing this my 'Extract to' is now completely gone. Ark version 2.6.4
btw.

It's in my home folder. File downloaded off internet is a gzip tar archive.
I can shell out and extract it fine.

Even after restarting KDE?
If so, try renaming your ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc and restart KDE.
