1What is it?
2===========
3
4The thunar-archive-plugin is a plugin for the Thunar File Manager, which
5adds archive operations to the file context menus. Using this plugin you
6will be able to extract and create archive files from within Thunar using
7a single click.
8
9
10Required packages
11=================
12
13thunar-archive-plugin depends on the following packages:
14
15 - Thunar 1.2.0 or above
16
17
18Supported archive managers
19==========================
20
21thunar-archive-plugin currently supports file-roller (the GNOME archive manager)
22and ark (the KDE archive manager), but support for additional archive managers
23can be easily added.
24
25To add support for a new archive manager, all you need to do is to install
26the .desktop file - with the list of supported mime types - for the archive
27manager to the $(datadir)/applications/ folder (as usual), and in addition,
28install a .tap file to $(libexecdir)/thunar-archive-plugin/, which provides
29a wrapper script that invokes the archive manager with the appropriate
30parameters for the actions "Create Archive", "Extract Here" and "Extract To".
31
32The .tap and .desktop files should have the same basename, otherwise the
33thunar-archive-plugin is not able to find the appropriate .tap file for an
34archive manager. For example, if the name of the .desktop file is ark.desktop,
35the .tap file must be named ark.tap.
36
37See the scripts/ directory for examples of how to create said .tap files. The
38template.tap file should provide a good starting point.
39
40Note that the thunar-archive-plugin takes the applications from the desktop
41database, so after installing new archive managers in $prefix (i.e. /usr or
42/usr/local), make sure to run
43
44 update-desktop-database $prefix/share/applications
45
46Most modern packagement systems will do this for you automatically, but if
47you are installing archive managers manually, you may need to run the above
48command first, otherwise you will get an error message telling you that no
49support archive managers were found on your system.
