# File Roller test plan ## Start File Roller 1. Start File Roller from the launcher or desktop overview The program is opened and reports that no archive is open. ## Create an archive 1. Use `Ctrl` + `n` or navigate the main menu to “New Archive”. Type a name with an archive extension, e.g. `u.tar`. 2. Use the + button to add some stuff to it. `tar tf u.tar` lists the files that were added in the previous step. ## Inspect an archive 1. `wget https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/file-roller/44.3-1/file-roller_44.3.orig.tar.xz`. 2. `file-roller file-roller_44.3.orig.tar.xz`. File Roller opens and you after entering `file-roller-44.3` you see its source tree. `Alt` + `Return` or ‘main menu -> Properties’ identifies the archive as an application/x-xz-compressed-tar. ## Extract an archive 1. Click the ‘extract’ button on the upper left corner. 2. Choose ‘`/tmp`’ as the target location. Dialog says that extraction completed successfully. 3. Click show the files. Your file manager opens and displays the `/tmp` directory. The `file-roller-44.3` directory is inside. ## Alter an archive’s contents 1. Select any file, right-click it and rename. `tar tf file-roller_44.3.orig.tar.xz` reflects the rename.
