I installed 7-Zip from Software Center, but where is the GUI application?
Original question asked by a user:
ich habe 7Zip aus dem Softwarecentrum installiert, finde aber kein
Symbol zum öffnen des Programmes. Kann hier jemand helfen?
The package p7zip you installed from Software Center contains a port of the command line utility included in the 7-Zip installer for Windows. It does not include any applications with a graphical user interface (GUI) like 7ZipFM.exe. Instead, it extends the functionality of the archive and extract tool (file-roller, page in Software Center) included in the default installation.
p7zip may only include support for the LZMA compression algorithm, not for LZMA2. For that you should install the xz-utils package from Software Center and set the output format to .xz or better .tar.xz or .txz to preserve file attributes.
For support of the .rar format you should install the unrar-free package from Software Center and run the program from terminal, as that seems to provide the best support for this particular format.
