As I batch-triaged #FileRoller's bug reports this week-end, I wondered about the presence or absence of password protection / encryption features. Nautilus could do encrypted zip, but File Roller wouldn't. Odd 🤔
After lots of further digging through #GNOME tickets, docs, and trial-&-error… I found the bug.
It turns out the sensitivity of those per-file-format options row widgets was set only on dialog creation, not updated when switching formats 😅Filed, now fixed:

Since I'm an evil evil #GNOME #UX designer sometimes, and I spent the whole week-end hearing unfounded complaints about how File Roller supposedly removed features (it didn't), I'm taking the opportunity to suggest actually removing two buttons from File Roller's toolbar… by using a breadcrumbs pathbar like Nautilus :blobcatcoffee:

After 7 months of work & 110 commits changing 5k LoC over 77 files, the #GTK4 port of #FileRoller is now complete 🎊 🎉 This was done mostly by Paolo Bacchilega, the experienced maintainer of File Roller and gThumb.
Major toolkit version upgrades can be a huge undertaking even for seemingly simple #GNOME #GTK apps and experienced devs. Be patient with your #opensource software #developers. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/merge_requests/90

Ubuntu considers removing Archive Manager from default installs https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/12/ubuntu-23-04-archive-manager-remove #ubuntu #fileroller

Ubuntu Considers Removing ‘Archive Manager’ from Default Install
Should Ubuntu drop the Archive Manager app from the default install? That’s the suggestion put forward for community discussion by a prominent Ubuntu developer. The reasoning is that since Nautilus lets us create/extract commonly-compressed formats (including the ubiquitous .zip and tarballs) shipping a separate app that does the same thing (albeit with more formats) is unnecessary. There’s precedent for such a move: GNOME 41 dropped the the Archive Manager app (often referred to by the package name file-roller) from GNOME Core. Their reasoning was similar: Nautilus now does it, so why duplicate functionality in the standard seed? Users with advanced :sys_more_orange:
