Hey Toriosidores,
I recently was trying to find a useful simple extractor for archives.
file-roller requires a lot of gnome dependencies.
xarchiver (in precise) is not very good.

So I made a quick script modified from portions of OBI.  It is not
extremely complete, but it handles the job I wanted it for.

I made this for my own usage, but I decided I might as well put it into
the ToriOS. It is a simple zenity front end for tar, it handles xz,bz2
and gzip compression.  It works from PCManFM fine for extracting
archives.  You can also do something like:
torios-archiver "($(ls *.jpg))"
This will prompt you for a name for the archive and the compression.

I am sure there are bugs, but again I just made it for my own use on
light systems. The entire installed version (excluding
tar/xz-utils/gzip/etc...) is about 7KiB, and a lot of the depends are
normally installed things (like tar and the compression programs)  So if
anyone wants to test it and break it, please do.
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install torios-archiver
:D
