Arch Linux User Repository

@tmn505 I've tried peaZip but I didn't like it very much. What are the best alternatives?

@xiaoyue Yes, that's the most prominent issue with this software. Unfortunately the GUI part of the project is essentially abandoned, hence the warning on first installation:

As of version 15.09, upstream is considering 7zFM broken.
Use it only for viewing archives. Every manipulation of archives
using this tool can produce unpredictable results.

so raising any issue on the project site is pointless. Use any other archive manager which properly handles UTF-8 named files.

This software package does not support UTF-8 format by default, and all of my UTF8 files have become garbled. If anyone sees this comment, please let me know how to adjust the settings to make the software display normal. If it is a problem with the software itself, please ask the developer to fix this problem.

@tmn505 I've learned that the problem isn't what I thought. It didn't work for me because in the path where the file was it had a character with an accent (í). If I move the file to another folder with no accented characters, it opens correctly.

I must have something misconfigured on my system

@intropedro I don't use Thunar, so You'll have to test it Yourself, try to use URL specifier from the freedesktop specification link mentioned in this comment https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/p7zip-gui#comment-879736. Otherwise as a last resort try suggestion from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/p7zip-gui#comment-879730. Report back what worked for You.

I am using Thunar and when I open a file qith spaces in the path it is not works.

I hace changed the .desktop file to this:

Exec=7zFM "%f"

But it still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Wouldn't start with 7-zip-full, was missing /usr/lib/p7zip/7z.so

It will be broken with 7-zip-full no matter where 7z.so is placed. It is just incompatible.

Unfortunately this app is a buggy mess anyway.

Can not show Chinese characters inside the software, help!

Wouldn't start with 7-zip-full, was missing /usr/lib/p7zip/7z.so. Replaced 7-zip-full with p7zip and now working; /usr/lib/p7zip/7z.so now present.

Also fails to open password protected archives when accessed directly with the following output: ===MyFrame::MyFrame===BEGIN=== DEBUG : new CExplorerListCtrl(id=1001) => 0x561e1f141030 ===MyFrame::MyFrame===WM_CREATE=== local_WM_CREATE INTERNAL ERROR : g_window and destWindow == NULL /usr/bin/7zFM: line 2: 4948 Aborted (core dumped) "/usr/lib/p7zip/7zFM" "$@"

Opening the gui and then navigating to the password protected archives works though.

@MShrimp4 following https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables it should be %f. Added it to Exec field.
