You may try a different file manager instead. The benefit of having both MATE and Cinnamon is that if the one breaks, you may be able to just log in to the other (from the log in screen you can pick which desktop environment to run for this session) and repair whatever is wrong.Īs to the 'extract all archives' question, I don't think this is a limitation of the archive manager but of the file manager not offering you this choice.

I'm looking for an archive manager who can perform multiple actions automatically processing several archives at once, just as Winrar made for *ugh* Windows.

Which one is better for you and why?Īs for my question, I may actually have to remove them both and use another. Can I keep just one and remove the other? When I double click on an archive right now, file-roller is automatically opened. I'm using Cinnamon as DE (don't know if it has anything to do about it), and I found annoying I have two different archive managers by default (name of processes: engrampa and file-roller) which look pretty much the same except for the icon.
