Description David Ing 2017-07-11 12:32:29 UTC
I first installed File Roller using Synaptic, and discovered that it doesn't show up on the Application Dashboard.  Starting up Discover, Archive Manager showed as installed, so I pressed the button to uninstall, and then reinstall.  Surfing through the application menu, I see Ark, but not "File Roller" or "Archive Manager". 

Starting file-roller from Konsole works.  This does turn up the error message ...

> (file-roller:2955): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_render_frame_gap: assertion 'xy1_gap <= width' failed

... although file-roller seems to work fine.

P.S.  The reason that I'm using File Roller instead of Ark is that dragging-and-dropping a directory in to Ark doesn't work!

This is an issue by FileRoller. in their desktop file they include this: "NotShowIn=KDE" which filters it out from Plasma menus as requested.

@Aleix Poi

Thanks for that response.  Is there a way to manually add the program to Plasma menus?
Comment 3 Aleix Pol 2017-07-11 14:54:17 UTC
I have no idea. Ask #plasma channels maybe? Or ask FileRoller to remove that bit.

I've now reported the issue over to the File Roller community at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784801
