rar and unrar support

Is there a way to manually add it? I have both rar and unrar installed and Thunar recognizes the package but it seems that PcManFM has a problem with that (both for compression and extraction).

Also, is there anything similar to Custom Actions, so I could Compress and send to an open pidgin conversation or gmail as an attachment? That would be ubercool !

I'd be interested in this too, adding rar & unrar to the existing options for compress & extract would be very useful.

I found a page that has something about adding some of this functionality:-

Code: Select all

Has not worked so well for me tho, when I gave it a shot nothing different was apparent.
