why do you think I should be up-to-date with what is happening with svn trunk of xarchiver?
I am not in fact.

I have just tested in gutsy:

download a zip file from the web with two files in it, firefox asks and I say open with xarchiver.
It shows the two files but I cannot right-click on them or launch them from there.
Oh, I just noticed it has a View button (not exactly intuitive and not Launch). Even worse on a diff.gz
inside the archive it now popped up an error saying something about not being able to display UTF8 and
crashed xarchiver.

So I cannot say my opinion about it actually improved with this test.

just as I said and tried before.

View is not the same as a generic open for any kind of mimetype

I am not spitting on your app but providing feedback and criticizing what I find faulty hoping you care about such feedback.

And stop using a patronizing tone and innuendos in your email and or I'll start ignoring them from now on.

For what it's worth I am pretty sure I spent more time on xubuntu than you on xarchiver and I hate to
see it ship bug-ridden apps.

PS: as an experiment I tried opening same file from web with file roller. Surprisingly when clicking on a .dsc file
it asked what to open with -mousepad or else - the regular open dialog one would expect.
Clicking on the diff.gz inside the .zip it *gasp* opened that with file-roller so I could actually see what's in it too
and in turn view with mousepad.
In other words what I would expect more or less (a better way would be seemless navigatipon of course) from an archive viewer.

But we shall value zealotry and our egos more than user experience and continue shipping xarchiver.
