GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 544273
nautilus integration broken
Last modified: 2008-07-23 11:06:13 UTC
Please describe the problem: Before 2.22 file-roller played nice with Nautilus via libnautilus-fileroller.so, there were very convenient 'Extract here' items in context menus. This integration is not working anymore. (Maybe nautilus extensions API changed?) Steps to reproduce: 1. Select archive file in Nautilus 2. Mouse right-click 3. 'Extract' options in context menu are missing Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
I saw your post on the Debian mailing-list. My Ubuntu Hardy (at work) has this "Extract Here" item in the context menu. Hardy has file-roller 2.22.3 but Debian has 2.22.1. Maybe it is worth looking at the ChangeLog. Btw... Gnome support is quite bad in Debian.
Debian has 2.22.4, and I can't see anything at <http://patches.ubuntu.com/f/file-roller/> that effects the extension path...
This should already be fixed: http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/file-roller/trunk/configure.ac?r1=2188&r2=2203 Check your build logs to see why it wasn't built (my guess is some versioned deps checking failed).
Indeed, looks like we actually patch file-roller to build against nautilus 2.20. I guess someone could remove the patch and do an upload to experimental, but let's discuss that back on the mailing list. :)
Closing then.
