Re: 3.22 Context Menu to Compress w/ File Roller like 3.16

Hello all,

It's not possible to add things at the same level apart of using extensions. You can also use the scripts folder for more specific tooling.

"Open with...".

That should still work, there is no submenu but the app chooser should show your applications. Alternatively you can right click the file -> properties -> open with and select the application you would like to use by default, it should show those applications you added too.

With Nautilus 3.22 I've found usability loss too, because adding
context-menu actions is not so easy as before (through MIME).

Some of my projects like Matromu, xhash, Ribildor and Refafit are
affected by this usability issue.

In a package installation, how it's supposed be added context menu
actions at same level as "Compress" or "Extract here" ?
