[solved]Problems with thunar archive plugin

Hello everybody.

For nearly two days I try to make thunar-archive plugin work with Xarchiver. But I can't do it.

I compiled Xarchiver from source, thunar-archive-plugin was installed using Thunar-Bundle-0.8.0 graphical installer.

xarchiver.desktop is in /usr/local/share/applications/, xarchiver.tap is in /usr/local/libexec/thunar-archive-plugin/. I also used update-desktop-database /usr/local/share/applications, but I still receive message "No suitable archive manager found" when I try extracting via right click->Extract to.

My system is Slackware 11.0

If I do something wrong then can anybody write how to do it correctly?

I had the same problem. Message "no archiver found". Thunar supports to archiver programs one of which is "file-roller". I don't remember the other at this time. I went to the website. The other is "Ark". Look at this link.  http://thunar.xfce.org/plugins.html#thu … ive-plugin

After installing everything to /usr instead of /usr/local everything works :? So the problem is solved.

Strange, maybe you can create a bug report?
