How to open odt files with file-roller
This might be an odd question, but I like to know how to make file-roller except odt files to be opened.
I am working pretty much with odt files as templates. I need to open them quite often and look into the containing xml files for some nerdy developer reasons.
In the past (12.04 and before) file-roller would open odt files without problem (since they are simple zip compressed files with an other ending). In 14.04 and 16.04 I had to do some magic (I do not recall) via gconf-editor to make file-roller open those odt files without renaming them to a .zip ending.
Now I am on 18.04 and there is not much configuration left in gconf and I cannot find anything related in dconf either.
So could somebody please enlighten me on how file-roller determines that ".odt" is a not-supported fileytype or a solution on how to teach file-roller to open my odt files without renaming them beforehand.
I already tried to add odt to the zip section in /etc/mime.types, but this does not seem to have any impact on file-roller.
Many thx for any hints into the right direction.

I use Nemo, but same with nautilus.

arkin Kubuntu 18.04 does what you want without any additional steps. Installingark(in the universe repo) would pull in some "kde/qt" dependencies but get the job done.

yes I know other implemntations of file-roller do it. Before ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 it was also that way. I am pretty sure there is some configuration file in ubuntu that needs to be changed or deleted in order to make file-roller try to open all files you give him. I found this in the past, but i am in front of a new system and cannot recall how I dod it or how i found the solution in the past.

Would it work for you to create a link with the same name but an extension that would make file-roller accept it (.zip)? It works for me in Lubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.

Yes, creating a symlink works, but I thrive for a solution, not a workaround.

I think your points is How to extract .odt archived as xml files? am i correct???
if i'm correct. follow the commands :
$ sudo mv ".odt" "filename" #move to `.odt` file as filename without extension
$ file-roller "filename" #open filename to view xml files archived
you can see archived like below.
Forgive me about my bad grammars and Hope this helps.

No. I want to know why the heck file-roller won't open .odt files anymore and how to reenable these behavior, since they are zip-compressed archives. It worked in the past. I need to take quick glimpses into those archives I do not want to rename them, mount them, symlink them or open them in other archive managers.

I guess it is a bug in file-roller.
I updated included file-roller version 3.28.0 to version 3.30.1 from 18.10 with the amd64 .deb file from here: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/file-roller_3.30.1-1_amd64.deb.html
With the updated file-roller package .odt files can be opened again. This might not be the optimal way to install backports, but in this case it works without sideeffects.

I guess it is a bug in file-roller.
I updated included file-roller version 3.28.0 to version 3.30.1 from 18.10 with the amd64 .deb file from here: https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/18.10/ubuntu-main-amd64/file-roller_3.30.1-1_amd64.deb.html
With the updated file-roller package .odt files can be opened again. This might not be the optimal way to install backports, but in this case it works without sideeffects.

arkin Kubuntu 18.04 does what you want without any additional steps. Installingark(in the universe repo) would pull in some "kde/qt" dependencies but get the job done.– DK Bose

yes I know other implemntations of file-roller do it. Before ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 it was also that way. I am pretty sure there is some configuration file in ubuntu that needs to be changed or deleted in order to make file-roller try to open all files you give him. I found this in the past, but i am in front of a new system and cannot recall how I dod it or how i found the solution in the past.

Would it work for you to create a link with the same name but an extension that would make file-roller accept it (
.zip)? It works for me in Lubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.– sudodus

Yes, creating a symlink works, but I thrive for a solution, not a workaround.

Suggestion: Edit your question and include: 1. screenshot of right-click menu on the *.odt file; 2. command output of
file *.odt; mimetype *.odt; 3. what is the file manager in use?– clearkimura
