After upgrade, file-roller (Archive Manager) failing
Under XFCE, a right-click of a .gz file gives the "Extract Here" option, which fails with:
Failed to extract files.
No suitable archive manager found.
If I open the .gz file with the Archive Manager, I can do the extract just fine.

Re: After upgrade, file-roller (Archive Manager) failing
Well, for now, I've created a custom action for the context menu, which will run:
file-roller %f --extract-to=%d
for .gz and .tar.gz files.

Re: After upgrade, file-roller (Archive Manager) failing
The reason is that it cannot find file-roller.desktop, which was renamed in 3.12
My workaround:
# ln -s /usr/share/applications/{org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop,file-roller.desktop}
$ xdg-mime default file-roller.desktop 'application/zip'Last edited by mikeroll (2014-04-22 18:15:11)
