<span class="application">Xarchiver</span> is a small and lightweight archive manager.
I developed it to manage archives without depending from a special Desktop Environment
like KDE or GNOME, so <span class="application">Xarchiver</span> requires only the GTK+2 toolkit
to work.
</p><p>
<span class="application">Xarchiver</span> has these features:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>The most used archiver cmd-line options are supported in the Add and Extract dialog</p></li><li><p>Archives are detected by their magic header and not by the extension except for .tar.bz2 and .tar.gz</p></li><li><p>Drag and drop from and to Xarchiver window is supported with XDS protocol</p></li><li><p>All archive relevant content and ISO info are displayed</p></li><li><p>ZIP and ARJ archive comment are supported. RAR comment is not yet supported because it's compressed inside the archive itself</p></li><li><p>Tabs Firefox style support</p></li><li><p>Ability to convert the archive to self-extracting for those archive types which support it</p></li><li><p>Smart detection of arj, zip and rar password encrypted archives</p></li><li><p>All the the output of the cmd-line archiver is displayed in the Xarchiver window</p></li><li><p>All common formats are supported: arj, bzip2, lha, gzip, 7z, rar, tar, tar.bz2, tar.gz, zip, DEB and RPM (only open,view and extract)</p></li><li><p>ISO images are supported without isodump or isoinfo executables (only open,view and extract)</p></li><li><p>Support of RPM files without RPM executable. This is useful on not RPM-based distributions like Slackware and Arch Linux</p></li><li><p>Useful info about the ISO image are displayed</p></li><li><p>Zip, rar, arj and 7z password encrypted archives are fully supported (7z automatic password detection is not supported)</p></li></ul></div><p>
