How do I make nautilus use file-roller in Ubuntu 18.04 and above like in 17.04?
New nautilus is not using file-roller any more by default, it has switched to its native expression, but I want to use file-roller on right click.
I found this answer, which worked in Ubuntu 17.10. But nautilus-actions
package is not yet Ubuntu 18.04's official repositories.
So is there any other method for this purpose?
Ubuntu 18.04+ method:
Since nautilus-actions
package is not yet in Ubuntu 18.04's official repositories, it's better to use nautilus script instead of nautilus-actions, which doesn't require any additional installation like for nautilus-actions.
You can do it easily by below commands:
echo file-roller -d \$@ > ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/File-Roller
chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/File-Roller
After that you can see File-Roller option in right click Scripts menu.
