[Bug 918107] Re: File-Roller should suggest or recommend p7zip-full package for WIM, SWM and other archive formats support and add

 

Also it would be nice if file-roller could automatically install p7zip-full package when user tries to open Windows Imaging Format (.wim, .swm) files - then Ubuntu users will not be forced to ask such questions or search answers:
