Solid GNOME Archive Manager, but Has Some Quirks

Engrampa works fine for basic archive operations like opening ZIP and TAR files, and I appreciate its clean integration with the GNOME desktop. However, I've had occasional issues with password-protected RAR files, and creating archives with specific compression settings isn't always intuitive. It gets the job done for free, but power users might find it lacking.

I tried using Engrampa for my basic archive needs, but it consistently fails with password-protected or complex archives. The interface is terribly outdated and unintuitive, often crashing when handling large files. It's frustrating when trying to open common archive formats.

Frustratingly basic and buggy archive manager

Engrampa feels like a bare-minimum solution that constantly disappoints. While it integrates with GNOME's drag-and-drop, I've had multiple crashes when extracting large RAR files, and the interface lacks basic options like batch operations or password management. For something that comes bundled, it's okay for quick peeks, but for any real archive work, I immediately install something else.
