[15:41] <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?
[15:57] <brainwash> chaslinux: are you using the latest version?
[15:59] <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.
[16:00] <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.

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

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