Re: [SOLVED]Thunar cannot extract my files

Which of thunar-archive-plugin's optional dependencies are installed on the system?

As loqs mentioned, the thunar archive plugin doesn't work by itself, its needs an archive manager/application like xarchiver, file-roller, etc, which would be listed under optional dependencies for the thunar archive plugin.
