Public bug reported: In Ubuntu 12.04, Archive Manager fails to open a .docx or .odf files. In previous versions of Ubuntu (11.04, 11.10) this action is possible, AM can open a such files for viewing its content if user chose to right click->open with archive manager. Since .docx and .odf files are XML documents, user should be able to view the content of the file (images, text and stuff are all compressed in a single file with docx/odf extension). But in 12.04 the Archive Manager is unable to open files with that extensions, declaring "Archive type not supported".
This bug is identical to bug #973675 (for 12.04 beta) which was converted to question #192668 which has expired. In my opinion it is still a bug however. ** Affects: file-roller (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1006754 Title: Archive Manager cannot open docx files Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: In Ubuntu 12.04, Archive Manager fails to open a .docx or .odf files.
