Description: This is a kioslave for KDE to handle 7zip files. Simply, enter 'p7zip:/path_to_file/filename.7z' in konqueror to use this. You got to have the p7zip executable in $PATH to p7zip kioslave work. Get it in http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/.
7zip is a new compression format released under LGPL. More information in http://www.7-zip.org.Last changelog:
0.3.1 Add mimetype to automatically open 7-zip archives with konqueror
Excellent work. It'd be great to see it ported to the 7zip library. As you stated, relying on an executable has some serious drawbacks.
I'm just wondering why you named the KIO slave "p7zip:/". Wouldn't "7zip:/" or "7z:/" make a lot more sense? p7zip is just the name of the 7zip port to Linux, and really has nothing to do with the file format itself.
Anyway, that's just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
Oh, and have you considered adding support to open .tar.7z files in a single step?
Sorry, but this kioslave is far from ready.
I should to rewrite the kioslave to use the 7-zip library directly instead using the 7za program and this will take some time.
Using the 7za program leads to some limitations.
inserting p7zip:/path/file.7z worked,
how do I tell my Konqueror to open every file with the kio? settings-> file association -> integration didn't solved.
Sorry, but kio_p7zip doesn't work. I've created an rpm for openSUSE, which ships with KDE 3.4.2.
I get a dialog and it asks me wether to save or open it with another application.
Hi
I would like to create a KIO too, but I don't find any _good_ documentation. I found http://www.heise.de/ct/english/01/05/242/ but it's not enough.
Where is my dream ? :p Or where can I find a small KIO showing only two folders for instance, in order to work with a good base ?
Thanks...

We've just added this to Ark Linux -- Ark Linux users can just "apt-get install kio-p7zip", users of other rpm based distributions might want to try our RPMs at http://arklinux.osuosl.org/dockyard-devel/i586/kio-p7zip-0.3.1-1ark.i586.rpm http://arklinux.osuosl.org/dockyard-devel/SRPMS/kio-p7zip-0.3.1-1ark.src.rpm

It supports all the archive types that 7zip does, not just 7zip's own format.
A SlackWare TGz package with SlackBuild Script is Ready to DownLoad!!! http://www.slacky.it/ http://www.slacky.it/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=1&func=fileinfo&filecatid=1018&parent=category
please get this in KDE 4, or even 3.5.3!

My fault. I forgot to include the mimetype. Thanks for the report.
If is just the mymetipe .desktop file, could you please put it in the download (as secondary download?)

This is a bug in this version. Sorry. I will release a new version with fix.
When can we expect that?

The screenshots are from CVS version of konqueror. Nice. Archives are shown like directories.
What is that burn:/ in the toolbar ? It looks nice !
It is kio_burn (http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=14779) Another cool kioslave.
