| chaslinux | Wondering about thunar-archive-plugin? I noticed it will create archives for most files if they're right clicked on, but this option doesn't appear when you right click on a LibreOffice (just tried .ods) document. Thinking it should since many new users will probably zip/archive documents? I wonder if this is functionality that can be added to | 15:41 |

| chaslinux | thunar-archive-plugin? | 15:41 |
| brainwash | chaslinux: are you using the latest version? | 15:57 |
| chaslinux | I'm using whatever is in 20.04 with updates. It does give me the create archive prompt for other file types (.sh, .png, .desktop files), just not LibreOffice files since I guess .ods is a type of archive? | 15:59 |
| brainwash | it's a zip file I think | 15:59 |
| chaslinux | I don't have an issue, I just use zip in a terminal, but I know people I support might ask about how they can create a zip file. | 15:59 |
| chaslinux | I can get around it by opening engrampa and creating a new zip file, but it creates a lot more work for people without computer skills. | 16:00 |

| chaslinux | Oh thank you! | 16:01 |
| brainwash | I think this fix is not included in a release yet | 16:01 |
| chaslinux | So dumb question, how do I apply this .c file to the currently installed thunar plugin? (Sorry, never took any CS) | 16:04 |
| brainwash | it's not that easy I guess | 16:06 |
| brainwash | maybe there is a guide out there (somewhere) | 16:06 |
| chaslinux | Going to try: diff --git a/thunar-archive-plugin/tap-provider.c b/thunar-archive-plugin/tap-provider.c | 16:07 |

| brainwash | this is the patch file | 16:08 |
| chaslinux | Think I'm just going to clone the thunar-archive-plugin and compile it and see if it fixes the issue... Thanks. | 16:26 |
| brainwash | you'll probably have to install it to /usr and not /usr/local | 16:29 |
| brainwash | so that Thunar picks it up | 16:29 |
