GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 773273
If opening a second archive with file-roller, it doesn't open the new instance succesfully

In Ubuntu Yakkety file-roller 3.22.0 If opening a first archive (e.g. a zip-file) file-roller opens this correctly. This can be done using nautilus, xdg-open or directly passing the filename argument to file-roller. But if you already have one file-roller instance open, and try to open a second archive (either with nautilus, xdg-open or directly passing the filename argument), a new file-roller window is opened, but the archive is not opened at all. At that moment the user *can* however open via the toolbar "File->Open..." an archive, and that *does* work.
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).
