Maybe my search-fu is abandoning me here but every once a while I need to unextract an archive, do you have recommendations ? Don’t want to install stuff from Aurora just for this.

    I’ve settled on Material Files for a file browser and it handles all my compress/extract needs.

    1. Find the file

    2. Press the 3 vertical dots on the right

    3. Select ‘extract’

    4. Navigate to or create the folder you want to extract to.

    5. Press the paste-clipboard icon in the bottom-right to extract the files.

    NB. It can create compressed archives as .zip .tar.xz or .7z

      Why advertise proprietary apps in a FOSS community? Especially when there are FOSS options available

          Except this isn’t a privacy community, this is a FOSS community, and OP mentioned they wanted an app on F-Droid, not anything about privacy.

          I believe the idea that “FOSS is only about privacy and nothing else, therefore proprietary apps with no network access are the same as FOSS apps” is absurd and harmful to the free software community, so I downvoted you based on that. Privacy is important but free software is much more than just privacy.
