Ark
KDE archive manager for viewing and extracting
About Ark
Ark is KDE's program for viewing, extracting, creating and modifying archives. It handles tar, gzip, bzip2, zip, rar, 7zip, xz, rpm, cab and deb formats, delegating some formats to the appropriate command-line programs when installed. Plasma desktop users rely on it for quick archive previews and extractions directly from the Dolphin file manager without opening a separate compression suite.
