Ark "Extract Here" Option No Longer on Context Menu

Up until an hour ago, my openSUSE 11.0 KDE 3.x Konqueror had the usual Ark archive extraction options on the context menu. An hour ago, during an extraction operation, Ark and/or KWin crashed and I had to log back in.

Now the Ark extraction options are no longer on the menu. All I have is the Ark “Extract To…” option.

What happened and how can I fix it? And yes, I have all the required integration plugins, etc., the thing was working fine for the last two years. Now it’s broken. Where is the config file or lock file or whatever that I need to find to fix this.

Never mind - solved it.

Turns out if the archive is “read-only”, the extract options do not work. Changing the permissions on the file to be extracted brings back the options.
