What's the Problem?

To compress/extract formats other than zip, you need to install external plugins. It is not possible to browse these formats in Files.

Solution/Idea

We could use the free library sevenzip to offer other formats (exploration/compression/extraction). This will then work without installing any plugins.

For information, we find this kind of UI in Linux.
compress1
compress2

Alternatives

Use another library.
