Description Thanos Apostolou 2019-10-27 22:52:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
Ark cannot open a downloaded snap package but gnome's archive manager (file-roller) can.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download a snap (e.g. snap download ohmygiraffe)
2. Try to open it with ark (ark ./ohmygiraffe)
3. Install file-roller and open it with that (file-roller ./ohmygiraffe)

OBSERVED RESULT
Ark cannot open a .snap package

EXPECTED RESULT
Ark being able to browse a .snap file's contents and extract it.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Doesn't look like Ark supports squashfs (at least that's what the mimetype inheritance says it actually is, I thought it was some kind of .tar.gz)
Comment 2 Thanos Apostolou 2019-10-28 21:57:26 UTC 
Should I change the title of this as requesting general squashfs support? Maybe I should change this to "plugins" Component?
