Ktarsyz is a menu extension for KDE that offers additional archiving capabilities within Konqueror, surpassing those offered by Ark. It is a straightforward service menu.
Ktarsyz is not a new software, but rather a solution to a gap in Ark's capabilities that the developer identified. If you have a simpler solution that accomplishes the same task, the developer invites you to share it. If not, and you think Ktarsyz could be useful, it is possible to download and install it. The "Notes" file, available in the doc/[lang]/ folder, offers helpful tips and descriptions for using Ktarsyz.
To use Ktarsyz, you will need several requirements, including Rexx-regina, GNU tar, and KDE 3.5.x. The installation process is relatively straightforward. Begin by unzipping the file to any accessible location. Then, open a console in the uncompressed folder location and type "./setup.sh" to install the package. If you require additional information about the installation process, consult the INSTALL text also located in the doc/[lang]/ folder.
Overall, Ktarsyz offers a simple and practical solution for archiving files or folders with corresponding names, resolving symbolic links, and including linked content, making it a valuable addition to any KDE user's software library.
