Mismatched support for RAR archives
Affected version
- Nightly flatpak: Yes
- Other: 40.0 in Fedora 34 beta
Steps to reproduce
- Right click a
*.rar
file
Current behavior
- The default action is Open With Archive Manager.
- There are 2 "Extract Here" menu items further down in the menu.
Expected behavior
- "Extract Here" should be the default action (unless the user changes the MIME handler).
- There should be no duplicated "Extract Here" menu item.
Additional information
gnome-autoar now supports extracting RAR files.
As a result, the Files app can handle them now. But it doesn't yet claim to handle RAR in its desktop entry: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/blob/master/data/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop.in.in#L14.
In the same way, the file-roller extension still adds its "Extract Here" menu item for RAR files, which is no longer necessary: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/blob/master/nautilus/nautilus-fileroller.c#L131
So, fixing this bug requires changes in both the linked files in both projects.
Assignig to 4. Newcomers, but targeting 40.1 bugfix release.
