Unzip should be a depend?

[LeonardoWhitehead]

I download many compressed files and spacefm could not expand them because it had no associated app. i have Ark installed and Dolphin had no trouble Expanding those files including a few extra options without going into Ark itself.
Because of another reason I installed unzip which is command line. I just now decided to give spacefm another try expand and up came a command line and expanded the file.
I have not looked into what changes occurred since my previous failed attempt, but I am suspencted one of 2 issues were involved. xdg-open had not been configured to expand compressed files using something like ark or spacefm was looking for a command line expansion tool which I had not installed.

It uses zip to decompress, so if you have zip installed, it should works flawlessly. You can always change the file handlers to know which handles which type of file, but tbh I don't remember where's that option located.

rightclick(on an archive)>archive defaults>archive handlers to set handlers for spacefm to use for the extract (and so on) archive defaults..
if the archive handlers are not set ie. blank, the 'defaults' button will populate these eg. in the case of .zip zip/unzip is used, but you can manually set them to whatever you want..

as to whether unzip/zip should be a depend, i would say this would be a distro level decision, and even then it'd be in the 'optional depend' territory..
