Thunar Archive Plugin (thunar-archive-plugin) allows you to create and extract archive files using the file context menus in the Thunar file manager.

For example, to create a new archive, just right click on the files and folders you want to add to the archive, right click on one of the selected files and select Create Archive... from the context menu.

Requirements:

· GTK+ version 2.6.x
· Thunar File Manager 0.2.2 or above.

Building and installing

If you downloaded a release tarball, you can simply run
./configure --prefix=/usr/local

now. The prefix must be the same prefix where Thunar is installed. You can find out the prefix using the following command:
pkg-config --variable prefix thunarx-1

Else if you use a SVN snapshot, you need to run
sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr/local

instead, because the automatically generated files are not included in the repository.

If the configure script complains about missing thunarx-1 package and you are using a binary package for Thunar, be sure to install the appropriate -devel package (i.e. for Debian/Ubuntu it is libthunar-vfs-1-dev). Next, you continue with

make
make install

where the install step must be done with superuser privilegues. That's all, now you just need to restart Thunar in order to be able to use the plugin.
