Drag and Drop Archive Manager

[raw sinew]

I am trying out Ubuntu Cinnamon and File Roller is not allowing me to drag and drop into the file manager on unextracted archives. How can I fix this?

does right-click> 'copy' work in the archive manager, then paste to destination?

[raw sinew]

nope

[wicked wraith]

maybe the archive is messed or a strange format. Did you try the 'extract (all)' function?

[raw sinew]

It’s with every archive

install an alternative one that may better suit your needs. Get Ark from software shop
