By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2010-09-06 13:14:20 CDT 
Ark provides a warning message when opening potentially executable files in an external viewer. This warning does not appear when using the built-in internal viewer. The warning reads:

The file you're trying to view may be an executable. Running untrusted executables may compromise your system's security. Are you sure you want to run that file?

Although such caution is prudent, there is no method available to disable the warning. The warning quickly becomes a nuisance. The dialog box should contain a check box allowing users to disable the warning, with a respective option in the arkrc file.

The dialog box and warning are found in the arkwidget.cpp source file.

The same happen in this case too.

Would be good to add a checkbox to disable the message though. And an option in settings to be able to reset it again.
