Bug 46811 – Create Archive on nautilus 2.6.0 right click menu does nothing

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tom Kiermaier 2004-04-04 18:01:39 UTC]

Nothing happens when I right click on a file and go to Create Archive. I'm guessing file roller is supposed to be executed.

works fine here.. is there anything relevant in the nautilus output ?

[Comment 2 Tom Kiermaier 2004-04-06 05:20:26 UTC]

There doesn't appear to be any output related to it.

Sorry I forgot to mention that I experience this problem on nautilus 2.8.0

[Comment 5 Edward Ocampo-Gooding 2004-10-31 13:15:23 UTC]

It appears that the default action for it is set to "Custom" (which is nothing to begin with).

The quick fix is by going into Applications -> Desktop Preferences -> Packages, and editing the default action for the archive file extensions that you use.

I'm assuming that this is just an entry in gconf, but i don't know enough about it to say anything yet.

[Comment 6 Omer Hasan 2004-11-09 15:45:01 UTC]

Hmm I don't have a "Packages" entry at all.

[Comment 7 foser (RETIRED) 2004-11-30 10:06:26 UTC]

still can't reproduce this, latest file-roller (2.8.3) 

without more info we can do zip about this.

[Comment 8 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2005-02-22 01:38:09 UTC]

Works here, and no response.
