Ark, alternative Linux à WinAce
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Ark is a solid replacement for WinAce for most KDE users. It handles ZIP, RAR, and 7z files well, covering the core needs of creating and extracting archives. However, it lacks native ACE support, which was a key WinAce feature. If you rarely encounter ACE files, Ark works fine. If you need ACE extraction, you must install unace separately and use the command line. The GUI is intuitive, integrates deeply with Dolphin, and offers a clean interface. It is not a 1:1 clone, but it covers 90% of typical archiving tasks on Linux.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil
- Supports ZIP and RAR formats for both creation and extraction
- Provides a graphical interface for browsing archive contents
- Allows extracting files without unpacking the entire archive
- Integrates with the file manager via context menus
- Open-source licensing (GPL-2.0+)
Ce qui change
- No native GUI support for ACE archives (requires external tool)
- No native support for CAB files in the main UI
- Tied to the KDE ecosystem, less portable than standalone WinAce
- Command-line interface is a wrapper, not as feature-rich as dedicated CLI tools like 7z
- Does not support creating ACE archives
Ouvrir vos fichiers WinAce
Ark opens ZIP, RAR, and 7z files created by WinAce without issues. It can also open TAR, GZIP, and BZIP2 archives. For ACE files, Ark cannot open them directly; you must use the unace command-line tool. CAB files are generally not supported natively in Ark’s GUI, though some Linux tools can handle them. If you have legacy ACE archives, plan to use the terminal to extract them.

Installer Ark sous Linux

Can Ark create ACE archives?
No. Ark does not support creating ACE archives. You would need a different tool for that, which is rare on Linux.
Does Ark work on GNOME or XFCE?
Yes, Ark can run on other desktop environments, but it is designed for KDE. It may look out of place and lacks some integration features outside Dolphin.
How do I extract an ACE file with Ark?
You can’t directly in the GUI. Open a terminal and run unace x filename.ace to extract the contents.
