Re: [Nautilus-list] nautilus/gnome-vfs interaction

[Steve Tyler <styler nexprise com>]

As a work-around, try using file roller (http://fileroller.sourceforge.net/), it's reasonably functional.  Once it's installed, all you need to do is specify the use of file roller as the default app for tar, tar.gz, zip type files.

It's not the ideal solution but it works!

Also, there are nautilus scripts (http://www-personal.umich.edu/~smueller/Nautilus-Scripts) that can assist in the management of archive files.

Yours, in support of Nautilus,
