[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.

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
 

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

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.

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.

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