You can use the Archive Manager application to create, view, modify, or unpack an archive. An archive is a file that acts as a container for other files. An archive can contain many files, folders, and subfolders, usually in compressed form.

Archive Manager provides only a graphical interface, and relies on command-line utilities such as tar, gzip, and bzip2 for archive operations.

If you have the appropriate command-line tools installed on your system, Archive Manager supports the archive formats listed in the following table.

1.1. Компресирани не-архивни файлове

A compressed non-archive file is a file that is created when you use bzip2, gzip, lzip, lzop, compress or rzip to compress a non-archive file. For example, file.txt.gz is created when you use gzip to compress file.txt.

You can use Archive Manager to create, open and extract a compressed non-archive file.
