 Posted: Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:58 am Post subject: File-roller replacement |
 |
|
Woke up this morning to find that File-Roller now wants to pull in nautilus, and some other larger gnome deps. Not running a gnome system I see no reason to want to have nautilus installed or any of the others. Is there a good file archiving gui replacement?

I've got the same problem, but not a replacement for file-roller. What I've done is put
>app-arch/file-roller-2.8.4
in /etc/portage/package.mask so it won't be updated.
If you've got kdelibs installed you can use karchiver, but it's just moving the problem from Gnome to KDE.
Another solution would be to have AVFS (a Virtual File System for opening compressed files wihout decompressing them) working in ROX-filer, but AVFS is dead (not updated since 2002 and not working with 2.6 kernels). |

AVFS is not dead. A new version has just been released. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/avf/ |

How does this AVFS work? What should I do in order to make it work?
Regards!

I was searching for something similar and found this: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=972
| Code: |
XArchive 0.2.2-3

This is the initialization of the programs, so you can make an idea of the real power in wich is related to archive formats. Havent worked so much with it but looks very promissing. No gnome stuff, just pure gtk as far as I know, so, it should compile with just gtk-2.0 and nothing more. Seems really fast and lets you navigate into your archives.
EDIT: I did not mention but it is evident: the above errors are because I dont have the related stuff installed, like rar or arj packages. I just wanted to show the formats that it can handle. The thing is done thru wrappers, so, to write the support for another format is a childs game. Beautifull, isnt it? |
