Support for Microsoft Cabinet archives is added to Fille-Roller since 2008, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149061
Should I report another bug in GNOME bugzilla about missing "application/vnd.ms-cab-compressed" in MimeType field of file- roller.desktop.in ? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #149061 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149061 ** Changed in: baltix Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: baltix Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: baltix Assignee: (unassigned) => Mantas Kriaučiūnas (mantas) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064377 Title: Add Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab- compressed) to MimeType field of file-roller.desktop.in and add p7zip- full to Suggests or Recommends Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Confirmed Bug description: Currently (in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10) File-Roller isn't associated with Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab- compressed) and users doesn't know how to open CAB archives in Ubuntu :(, see for example this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/5273 /how-do-you-view-the-contents-of-a-cab-file Please add Microsoft Cabinet archive filetype (application/vnd.ms-cab- compressed) to MimeType field of data/file-roller.desktop.in (or file-roller.desktop.in.in - I don't know which one should be patched) file and add p7zip-full to Suggests or Recommends (p7zip-full package is installed by file-roller automatically, when I tried to open .cab file with File-Roller).
