Application with full archive support
I normally have a great bit of sympathy with open source developers. i understand it takes time to reverse engineer code, or write your own to run on new hardware with little help from manufacturers.. . but sometimes there's no good reason for lack of functionality, and the level of unnecessary obfuscation seems to increase for no particular reason.
I'm looking for something very simple... a gui applicaiton that will integrate with kde and archive files into some of the more common types: zip, 7zip, tar, etc. I would like the full functionality of each type of archive (for expample: I want the ability to password protect a 7zip archive)
the default kde archive tool, ark.. doesn't do this.
Peazip is a wonderful program, they even package it up in a nice little deb for ubuntu. Worked great on all counts, until 13.10 when the ia32-libs are no longer in the repos for 64 bit systems to run 32 bit applicaitons... so i get sent down an hour-long rabbit-hole of forum posts and info pages about multi-arch support and other crap I could really care less about. I mean really...
I'd LOVE some simple how-to kind of explanation on getting peazip or other 32 bit apps to function on my 64 bit kde-unbuntu install. OR I'd be perfectly happy with another archive program which meets all the requirements I outlined above.
Any help much appreciated.
It's UBUNTASTIC!
