Description antistress 2009-11-18 22:59:26 UTC
File Roller (like Eye of GNOME, Nautilus etc.) provides a useful "Open With..." functionality through contextual menu.
But unlike other GNOME applications, it doesn't lead to a submenu displaying a choice of applications but requieres to open a dedicated window to choose the application which is far less practical

See screenshots
current File Roller which opens a dedicated window : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35685756/FileRollerOpenWith_current.png
Nautilus which handles this through menus : http://launchpadlibrarian.net/35685796/NautilusOpenWith.png

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
