Archive Manager (previously File Roller) is the file archiver of the GNOME desktop environment.[4]

Archive Manager can:[5]

  • Create and modify archives
  • View the content of an archive
  • View a file contained in the archive
  • Extract files from the archive

File formats[edit]

Supporting the archive formats requires external back-end programs and libraries,[6] it supports:[7]

Limitations[edit]

Archive Manager does not give the advanced options to compress using different levels of compression via GUI (High, Normal, Low/Fast, etc.). This can be set however using dconf-editor, or the old gconf-editor on GNOME 2.
