Mac computers save a bit of time with extracting for simple people that just want to always extract to current folder – just double click, and it loads.. no menus, no semi-extracted file browsers. Simple.
In ubuntu: do this:
- right click on a ZIP file (etc.)
- select: “open with other application”
- click “use custom command”
- paste in ”/usr/bin/file-roller -h”
- check “remember this application”
And that’s it ~ ZIP files will always extract on double click.
(you need to repeat this process for different types of archives)
