Often having crc errors for large files (500mb or so). But using unrar from the terminal extracts the supposedly bad files (they are not) just fine.
This is how an archive manager should be: intuitive, super simple, versatile, quick. A great work horse. Possibly those doing heaps of compression on a regular basis write their own routines, but this is great for the rest of us. Only gripe is that the name (file-roller) is not the one listed in the mint menu (Archive Manager), but it still appears if you type file-roller.
Great program but like anything it could be better it doesnt open HATHDL files and I know that WINzip and 7-Zip has no problems opening them :(
could a open folder icon add on toolbar, which can help me quickly back to file management
doesn't recognize some charachters, which makes it unable to open certain files
Por ahora, al menos, no hay otra herramienta que otorgue las mismas posibilidades que este programa.
Undoubtedly the best archive manager for Linux. Should be included everywhere by default, not just Gnome.
