KDE3 ARK displaying messed up timestamp for files in ZIP archive.
Unzip, some years ago, when listing files in an archive, showed the timestamp for those files in the format of MM-DD-YY. Now, unzip, when listing files in an archive, shows the timestamp for those files in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. This change in how unzip shows timestamps has caused KDE3 ARK to show a messed up timestamp when viewing a ZIP archive. Are there any plans to fix this? Has this already been fixed in some version of kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm that I haven't been able to find, even though I've checked many kdeutils3-*x86_64.rpm packages going up to opensuse 15.3? Alternatively, since one fix is simply adding statements to the C source for ARK to convert unzip's new timestamp of YYYY-MM-DD to the old format of MM-DD-YY before letting the rest of ARK's C source process that, but also keeping in mind that I have no clue where to find that C source code for ARK since I've had zero involvement in any KDE3 development and therefore have no familiarity with how anything is structured or what the labels mean, could someone point me to the exact C source for ARK where it processes the unzip timestamps, so that I can fix ARK myself.

I'll add this to a personal -- thing to fix in KDE3 along with adding .xz and .zstd. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
