Source code
Xarchiver is the ultimate solution for handling archives on Linux and FreeBSD. It's a Desktop Environment independent archiver front end. All common archive formats are supported, deb and RPM packages are handled without their package managers being installed. Xarchiver only depends on the GTK+ libraries and utilizes various (de)compressor/(un)archiver command-line programs at runtime. Installation of xdg-utils is optional but installing it will allow Xarchiver to support opening more file types directly from inside an archive. First author of Xarchiver (until 2014) was Giuseppe Torelli, current author of this continuation of the Xfce master branch and maintainer of Xarchiver is Ingo Brückl.

Xarchiver is a front-end to various command line archiving tools for Linux and BSD operating systems, designed to be independent of the desktop environment. It is the default archiving application of Xfce and LXDE. Deepin's archive manager is based on Xarchiver.
It uses the GTK+2 or GTK3 toolkit to provide the program interface; therefore, it is capable of running on any system where GTK support exists. Many other applications also use the toolkit, so support is widespread among other Linux distributions, irrespective of their specific desktop solution.
