[Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

As suggested by javispedro, I ported Xarchiver from Diablo to Fremantle.

Package is in optified and in -devel

(Usual extras-devel warnings apply)

Screenshots from N900:

There are slight problems with extracting .tar.gz files, but I'll hopefully fix that soon.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

If I knew I wouldn't have done it obviously, why isn't it on the official repos?

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

anyone know where to get the plugins from for zip and rar? thanx

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

zip, unzip and unrar are in the repos (they have to be installed using xterm though)

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

ok thanx guys, it seems i already have them from the repos but when i click a zip package in file manager it dont open in xarchiver, it asks me what app to open the zip file with but the list dont show xarchiver

*edit, same happens with rar files also, they dont auto open xarchiver when sellected from file manager.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

also with this new port i can successfuly create a .zip archive, with the other port from my-maemo it crashes. so good work bro

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Quote from that page (underlined by me):
"Note: This version of Xarchiver has been written for the previous version of the Maemo platform (Diablo) and hasn't been ported to Maemo 5 yet. However, since it works just fine on the N900, for your convenience we are making it available via our own repository. Other than not being optified (i.e. installing in rootfs and taking some space there rather than in the large opt partition) there are no other issues, and it makes handling archives much more convenient than using command line based tools."

(The home page http://xarchiver.xfce.org/ (shown in xarchive.garage.maemo.org) doesn't work now.)

MohammadAG has just made a proper port and optified it. Good work. Thanks.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

It's not assigned to open extensions.
I'll check the Extra Decoders Package to see how it's implemeted.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

It's already been done, before you, for the Diablo port. Look at http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...7maemo2.tar.gz

And the Extra Decoders package won't help you; you need a handler in the program itself to handle the "mime_open" messages that are received when a file is opened. Look at that tarball and search for osso_rpc_set_cb_f in 01-hildon.dpatch.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Which repository? Extras devel? Is there a way to unzip a file on the device while staying away from extras-devel?

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

p7zip is in extras-testing.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Hi what is it with the latest update. When I try to update xarchiver it says:
in xterm:
And the update although says successful in app manager keeps appearing every time.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Updated the app, now depends on *gasp* non-free packages since some users just don't know how to install the packages it needs.
Also updated the desktop file so that now it doesn't use the hildon theme.
Although this has the downside that you need a stylus now (slightly finger usable), the UI is much much more usable (everything was cramped with the hildon theme).
Unpacking seems to work for me, I'll wait for user feedback on what fails and what doesn't.
I haven't added the patch that allows open with to work yet.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

How to zip a file from this? I can't seem to zip or .rar any file, but I can unzip and unrar.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Test with the new package please (if it's not yet in devel then the importer is fooked).
http://i49.tinypic.com/2dhxls3.jpg

(P.S, yes, I zipped /bin/bash as a test :p)

Edit: oh and save to "Nokia N900", saving will fail if you save to /, I'm not changing the desktop file to run this as root, for obvious reasons.

Edit 2: link to deb till the importer gets off its arse.
http://mohammadag.ucoz.com/maemo/xar...tle6_armel.deb

Clicking the link should install it through HAM but if it doesn't, download to MyDocs/Nokia N900 then

Code:

---

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i xarchiver_0.4.6-7fremantle6_armel.deb
# You might see some errors, if you do then...
apt-get -f install

---

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Mohammed can you provide an alternative download link please.
:)

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

It's in -devel, just update/install through the app manager
http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...tle6_armel.deb

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Thanks for the update man, much appreciated. Now to get the mime handler thingy working.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

You should add MurrinaNightOrange theme into the package
I don't know if it comes with easy-debian, but I had to install it manually.
Anyways, this app is a must have one

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Hmm, that's what it uses, I never knew that theme was part of easy-debian, thought it came standard on Maemo 5 :)
I'll add it soon.
Edit: added

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

i cant see it in devel, and dont get an update?

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

New version in devel, includes the theme and some fixes to the service and desktop files.
Clicking an archive now opens Xarchiver, but DOES NOT open the archive itself, so I suggest saving till I find a fix for it.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

I have try to install this app. All is work fine but the app keeps appearing into app manager every time I check for an update.
I have try to install it via terminal.
This is the output:

Preparing to replace xarchiver 0.4.6-7maemo2 (using .../xarchiver_0.4.6-7maemo2_all.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement xarchiver ...
Setting up xarchiver (0.4.6-7maemo2) ...
Unknown media type in type 'sketch/png'

The app work fine, but should be possible to patch this problem?
Have a nice day!

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Please see this post about a conflict between this app and p7zip.

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=52

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

That's not possible unless you forced installation or you seriously f'd up apt :)

But tbh I can't see why Xarchiver would conflict with p7zip, I'll look into it.

Oh and on a side note, support for creating RAR files will not be added, rar is non-free, the binaries are not built for armel, so that's a blocker

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

Note that I only had Extas and Extras-devel enabled. I had Extras-Testing disabled.

Re: [Maemo 5] Xarchiver - another archive manager
 

this app can not be done more user friendly?
to be honnest for me it will be enough if the app can handle zip and rar archives and also know to extract them. there will be any posibility to make a lite version of it? or maybe to integrate zip/unzip and rar/unrar in file manager?
thanks!
