File Roller als Linux-Alternative zu IZArc
Aktualisiert am
Unser Fazit
File Roller is a solid replacement for IZArc if you are on GNOME and mostly work with ZIP, TAR, and GZIP files. It handles password-protected ZIPs and integrates smoothly with the Nautilus file manager. However, it lacks native RAR support, which is a major gap for many IZArc users. If you frequently handle RAR files or need advanced command-line automation features that IZArc provides, File Roller alone will not suffice. You should pair it with p7zip or PeaZip to cover the missing formats and ensure full parity for your workflow.

Ihre IZArc-Dateien öffnen
File Roller opens standard ZIP, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, and XZ files created by IZArc without issues. However, it cannot natively open RAR files. If your IZArc archives are RAR, you must install p7zip or use PeaZip to extract them. Password-protected ZIPs work fine, but ensure the password is correct before attempting extraction.
