Title:
  Archive Manager refuses to open zip-type archives

Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Today I downloaded a modification for a popular game, Minecraft, which
  was packaged in a .zip file. I had the Minecraft.jar file open in a
  separate window, and when I tried to open the zip file, it refused to
  open. A work around I found was to rename the file to filename.jar,
  which opened with no hassle from Archive manager.
