Debian :: Engrampa As Thunar Default Archive Manager
Jul 25, 2015
I'm using Debian 8 Xfce and now using Engrampa as default archive manager. But I can't do "Extract here" right click in Thunar, returning error "No suitable archive manager found". How to get Thunar know Engrampa as its archive manager?

I was messing around with different GUI sessions, and I wanted to try XFCE. Well, I switched to XFCE for a session, and I played around in it. When I went back to a Gnome session, however, it appears that Thunar is now the default filesystem explorer.I get the Thunar explorer. I want the Nautilus explorer. How do I fix this issue?

Recently I installed Linux Mint 9 Xfce in my old laptop.I realized that thunar doesn't show the "Extract Here" or "Extract To" options for 7z files in its context menu. I googled about this and some people talk about "patching" thunar-archive-plugin with a diff file.Before continuing: I installed p7zip-full and file-roller handles 7z files without problems. What I'm looking for is the "extract" options in the context menu.
How can I add these "extract" options to the 7z files context menu? Or If there is no such way to achieve this rather than doing this "patch diff", has anyone come across this or point me in the right direction on how to do this patch?

I come from windows!!! For the life of me, I can't find the (Wine) install environment with the Thunar file manager. For some reason, after i installed wine it doesn't have a link that takes me to the C: drive that Thunar used to open so I could access what I installed thats only compatible with windows, such as World Of Warcraft. I'm bound and determined there has got to be another way to find it!

I was messing with Openbox, LXDE, and Pekwm a couple days ago to see if I liked any of them, but I ended up coming back to gnome.
But it seems that, somehow, some of my preferred apps settings got wiped during this process.
The most annoying one, is I have no default application for archives (zip, tar.gz, etc). I can tell Ubuntu to "Open With..." and that works... but it doesn't stick.
How can I return this back to normal Ubuntu behavior?
UPDATE: It appears that nearly ALL my preferred application settings are gone. Pretty much everything except couple filetypes show up with the standard "file" icon and won't open unless I use "open with".

I have upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and I am using the classic ubuntu interface instead of Unity. I am facing problems with the Archive Manager. My problem is that I can open archives but I can not modify them or create a new zip file with the GUI. I get an error saying:
zip error: Invalid command arguments (no such option: -)
The easiest way to reproduce it is by right-clicking on any file, pressing compress and selecting .zip in the file format.

I wonder, as I can make Ultracopier be my default administrator copies in this wonderful desk that is MATE?
I want for example, that when you Crtl + C Ctrl + V to a file, Ultracopier is who is responsible for the copy.

Every shortcut... every program... every link... everything opens in Archive Manager. And then it reports that the archive is not supported... I gotta launch everything directory related through a terminal just to get to navigate through a window manager.

I have upgraded my Ubuntu to 10.04, in hopes that my problem would dissapear. Sadly, it hasn't. You see, my archive manager isn't cooperating with me and it's not letting me download anything. For example, I tried to download Sony Vegas and it gave me the following error. (Among other things, but this data seems more important.)" End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In thelatter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive. "
This occured when I tried to open the "SonyVegas 8.0 exe" . I have unzipped this file. I think "exe" has something to do with Windows, if so, is there a way I can convert this file so it can be adapted to my archive manager? Or is my archive manager not working, correctly? Does anyone else have these problems, also? Please, I want to be able to download things and my archive manager is the reason I can't.

I am running Natty Narwhal with Gnome Classic (I can't get used to Unity). When I click the Trash Can the Archive Manager (file-roller) starts with Could not create the archive
Archive type not supported.I'm sure the default "open with" for the Trash folder has somehow been modified but I can't figure out how to change it back.

I am running ubuntu 11.04 in classic mode with macubuntu theme and the avant window navigator. I am very impressed. I have downloaded kubuntu and have tried it from the live cd. The question I have, is can I also install this on my pc and choose at login which version to boot and do I install it from the cd at boot up or can I install it from the archive manager in ubuntu 11.04.

if I go up to Places -> Fileshare(a SMB mount) and click it, it tries to open in "Archive Manager" and breaks.However, the mount is also put on the desktop, and accessible that way.Why, oh why, has my Places menu started trying to open mount points in "Archive Manager" all of a sudden? Fedora 14 / Gnome

Is it possible to have Archive Manager create the specified folder when I enter it into the path field? Like if I want to put something in "/Main/Sub1/Sub2" But "sub2" doesn't exist, can I just have Archive Manager create it and put the files there?

I have in my pc (ubuntu 10.10 32 bit) a folder with about 10.000 files. It is a samba shared folder and so far I could browse fast and easily those files in another old ( Pentium4 1,5Ghz) PC with WinXP. I installed ubuntu 10.10 but the browsing now is toooooooo slow , although the old Pc's performance is considerably faster than before (when I had WinXP). Also, although the old PC's speed is satisfatory now, would it become even faster if I installed an older ubuntu distro?

When I click on "Places-->any item" (except 'Computer') the folder opens in "Archive Manager". I have tried resetting the panels but the problem persists.

i seem to have encountered a problem with thunar since upgrading gtk2. about once every fortnight i'll do an apt-get update/upgrade. today a lot of gtk2 libs were upgraded. ever since thunar won't recognise mouse clicks to open any folders in the detailed view, and i'm not entirely sure how or if i can roll back the packages with apt. synaptic won't let me force versions. running squeeze 64 bit btw.

Thunar, for some reason, always seems to become non-response and consumes 100% CPU after I open a certain folder on my external hard drive. What could be the cause of this? I've tried opening the same folder on Windows and it didn't give me any problem, so I'm assuming that the problem lies within Thunar, and not the external hard drive itself.

For some time (I don't remember exactly how long/since when, maybe since I switched to i3 window manager?) I have the problem from title.
Chromium browser uses completely different programs to open files than file browser (thunar). And most of the time thunar has associations I want. For example thunar opens PDFs with iceweasel, and chromium opens them with GIMP (!), note that I have never changed this king of settings. Until I changed it today chromium also used Baobab (I didn't even know it existed before I saw it) to open directories ("show file in directory" for downloaded files).
I know how to change for a single file type (at least for browser), but is there some way to set all file types to something sensible and keep both, browser and thunar in sync without doing all of that manually? Or at least revert it all to default?
Debian version: latest "testing" version. (I use testing because I really need up to date versions of a lot of programs)...

I am running wheezy + xfce. When I attempt to mount any external volume in Thunar, I get a message saying "Unable to mount-- not authorized." This is problem #1. A bigger problem that I think is related is my wireless. Logged in as a normal user, I cannot connect to any wireless networks using network-manager. My wireless card is functional and I can see all the networks around me, but when I click on one to connect, nothing happens. No password prompt, nothing. Strangely, when I log in as root, wireless works flawlessly. I am a member of the netdev group.

I'm running 64-bit Debian testing Xfce and can't get Thunar to generate thumbnails for video-files in ogg-format. It works for avi, mp4, flv, etc. I have thunar-thumbnailer and ffmpegthumbnailer installed.

I recently migrated a home folder to a new user name. I made the necessary changes with usermod and recursively chown-ed the directory as the new user. However, one problem I've had is that Thunar is no longer showing thumbnails for images and videos. I rm-ed the .thumbnails directory thinking that it would force creation of new thumbnail files, but this didn't work. The directory stays empty.

Using Linux 4.3.0-1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.3.3-2 (2015-12-17) i686 GNU/Linux (Debian Stretch)
Also using XFCE
When using mouse to drag files from one folder to another (to move, not copy), it frequently crashes thunar.
This has been going on for a couple of months now, despite getting the usual upgrades.

Running Debian 8, thunar 1.6.3. Randomly thunar stops redrawing and stops responding to mouse and keyboard input.
This is annoying because I usually have a handful of tabs open and I "lose my place."

When I open Thunar, I can see thumbnails of jpegs, but notfor video,or document files. I've got the Thumbnailers package installed as part of XFCE Goodies,nd also ffmpegthumbnailers (? I think, I'm at work so can't check). I've looked for a setting to change, but can't see anything relevant. previous installations have allowed me to have beautiful thumnail icon

I just installed gnome-mplayer and gecko-mediaplayer on Debian Squeeze (after removing Parole and its browser plugin). Now when I right-click on a file in Thunar, the menu instantly vanishes unless I hold the right mouse button down. The menu works fine, but having to hold the button down is mildly annoying.
The funny thing is, right-clicking on the background in Thunar works exactly as expected; I never have to hold down the button. And this is definitely not a mouse problem, because I can observe the exact same behavior with any mouse or touchpad.
Update: switching to a different GTK theme seems to have fixed it.
