Hi, Since Mga6, right click on a file under pcmanfm and choose compress does nothing. It occurs because libfm tries to launch "xarchiver --add-o %F" whereas the good command is "xarchiver --compress %F". Best regards, Nico.

Testing M6_64 BEFORE the update: libfm-1.2.5-3.mga6 lib64fm4-1.2.5-3.mga6 lxshortcut-1.2.5-3.mga6 under several desktops, using PcManFM, right-clicking a file shows the "compress" option; which does nothing. From a terminal, one sees that xarchiver complains that --add is an unknown option. AFTER the update: libfm-1.2.5-3.1.mga6 lib64fm4-1.2.5-3.1.mga6 lxshortcut-1.2.5-3.1.mga6 tried under XFCE, using PcManFM, right-clicking a file & choosing "compress" popped up the archive application to 'create a new archive'. Update OK. Advisory to follow.
