I've played with compiling it which didn't work at all. I found and 

tested a SL6 RPM which did put the option in the right click menu to 

extract or add to archive, but when clicked it didn't do anything. Is 

there anyone getting this to work in thunar? Otherwise I generally like 

Thunar, but coming from Windows with 7zip rightclick options, working 

with archives is unbearably clunky. Right now I run Directory Opus in 

Crossover with 7zip, and this is less of a pain for dealing with 

archives, but has other issues.



Failing all of that - is there a better filemanager with features like 

Directory Opus that I might use on SL7.1, hopefully including a location 

path, optional dual lister, and right click extract or add to zip or 

archive? I'd like to use it in XFCE though.
