ark alias conflicts with Ark, the KDE archiving tool #88
Comments
Hi @PierreRustOrange would it be useful to you if we have an env-var to suppress the alias?
|
Thanks for your answer. I'd rather have an env-var to create the alias than to suppress it, it's actually very easy to fix the problem (only need to rm the symlink), the only difficult part is to identify it. It took me some time to understand why I could not open any tar.gz anymore... |
What if we checked for ark existing in PATH before creating it? Would that resolve this issue? |
That's a great idea, that would completely resolve the issue and could probably be implemented by simply checking the return form |
I know you didn't come here necessary to write a PR, but would you be up for giving it a shot? we use get.sh in this repo. |
You're right, I should have done that before. |
/close |
Expected Behaviour
When arkade is installed, my os basic tools should keep working... ;)
Current Behaviour
When arkade is installed, it creates a symlink
/usr/local/bin/ark
that override theark
utility ( located in/usr/bin/ark
) which is used to handle all archive file on KDE desktops (tar, bz, etc.). All gui-based operations on these files are then broken (from the file manager, etc.).Possible Solution
Avoid creating that alias by default, use a command line argument to create it only when explicitly requested.
