I just installed this on Linux Mint Xia (22.1) to replace the pre-installed File-Roller. The recent version of File-Roller does not allow drag-and-drop from the application window whereas Xarchiver does - a huge workflow issue for me. So far, Xarchiver is doing everything I need.
One thing which made me want to leave a comment here is the speed at which it opens big archives. When I used "Archive Manager" it took several minutes to open gigabyte sized archives. xarchive just opens it instantly so you can work with it.
Very decent archive manager, does a good job being very lightweight at the same time.
