Ubuntu Version: 25.10

Desktop Environment GNOME

Problem Description:
Right click on a zip file does not offer ‘open with archive manager’
Also if file-roller is installed by right-click on a .zip file in the drop-down menu i don’t see the option ‘Open with archive manager’ as i had in Ubuntu 22.04 as 1st option. So I must select ‘Open with’ and search for an app … and if I don’t know file-roller==archive-manager I’m lost.

Relevant System Information: This is an old unresolved bug but can I change the default?
I see:


corrado@corrado-n4-qq-0902:~$ gio mime application/zip
Default application for “application/zip”: org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
Registered applications:
	org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop
	org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
Recommended applications:
	org.gnome.FileRoller.desktop
	org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop
corrado@corrado-n4-qq-0902:~$

can i change the default application from nautilus to FileRoller?
thanks
