What is it?

Xarchiver is the ultimate solution for handling archives on Linux and FreeBSD. It's a Desktop Environment independent archiver front end. All common archive formats are supported, deb and RPM packages are handled without their package managers being installed. Xarchiver only depends on the GTK+ libraries and utilizes various (un)compressor/(un)archiver command line programs at runtime. Installation of xdg-utils is optional but installing it will allow Xarchiver to support opening more file types directly from inside an archive.

How to use it:

Please read the documentation accessible from the Help menu.

How to compile:

./configure # (run './configure --help' for more details) make
