[maemo-users] [maemo-users] Re: Unzip - GUI or linked through File Manager?

[From: Paul Klapperich]

Ok, nevermind. I think I mostly understand why now...

I followed the instructions in the Maemo Developers Tutorial [1] creating a
.desktop file for unzip and an xml mime-type definition. The downside for
this is that "unzip" shows up in the application list, but filemanager does
claim to be "loading unzip." I guess the real downside is that it doesn't
unzip :-) Still not sure why you think you need a %f, but this obviously
isn't as straight forward as it should be. I'd assume the Filemanager is
waiting for a dbus response from the application it just launched, which the
commandline app "unzip" just won't do.
