File Roller como alternativa Linux ao WinAce

Atualizado em

Nossa avaliação

File Roller can replace WinAce for most everyday archiving tasks on Linux, especially if you mainly work with ZIP, TAR and common compression formats. It offers a GNOME‑integrated GUI, drag‑and‑drop, and command‑line access via the same back‑ends. Users who still need to handle ACE archives or want built‑in RAR support will have to install additional tools (e.g., unace, unrar) and configure File Roller to call them, so it’s a good fit for users comfortable adding small helper utilities.

File Roller's main interface

O que funciona igual

  • Graphical archive manager with GNOME integration
  • Create, extract and modify ZIP archives
  • Drag‑and‑drop support from the file manager
  • Password protection for ZIP files
  • Command‑line interface via underlying tools

O que muda

  • No native ACE support; requires external unace/unace‑gtk
  • No built‑in RAR handling; needs unrar or 7‑zip backend
  • Does not handle CAB archives out of the box
  • File Roller focuses on tar‑based formats (gz, bz2, xz) which WinAce did not support
  • WinAce offered a Windows‑only shell extension, while File Roller relies on GNOME’s file manager

Abrindo seus arquivos do WinAce

File Roller can open ZIP archives created by WinAce without issues. For ACE files you must install the unace package and associate it with File Roller; extraction will work, but creation of new ACE archives is not supported. RAR and CAB files can be opened if unrar and appropriate cab extraction tools are installed, but File Roller will not create them.

Trocando o WinAce pelo File Roller, passo a passo

  1. Install File Roller from your distro’s repository (e.g., sudo apt install file-roller).
  2. Add ACE support: sudo apt install unace and configure File Roller to use it.
  3. Add RAR support: sudo apt install unrar and ensure the 7‑zip backend is enabled.
  4. Add CAB support: install cabextract if needed.
  5. Test opening a sample .ace, .rar and .cab file from the file manager.
  6. If you need to create ACE archives, keep a Windows machine or use a virtual machine with WinAce.

Perguntas frequentes

Can File Roller create ACE archives?

No. It can only extract ACE archives when the unace helper is installed.

Do I need to install anything extra for RAR files?

Yes, install the unrar package (or 7‑zip) and File Roller will call it for extraction.

Is File Roller suitable for command‑line use?

File Roller itself is a GUI, but it uses standard CLI tools (tar, gzip, 7z, etc.) that you can invoke directly.
