F25 nautilus problem: Double clicking on .tgz archives will extract them immediatley into the same directory
Hy all F25 users,
I'm running F25 with gnome/X11 desktop environment, and having problems with nautilus: I have some directories where .tgz archives are located. Suddenly, clicking on the .tgz files will no more open them and show their contents, but the .tgz file will be immediately unpacked into the same dir. How to restore the old behaviour which will only open the archive and not unpack it?
Any help will be appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Joachim,
Go to app menu of nautilus (next to the Activities), open Preferences, select Behavior tab, and there is an option Compressed Files uncheck "Extract the files on open"

Hi bitlord, following exactly your advice did not help: If now Doubleclicking on the .tgz file, nothing happens.
The only thing which helps is selecting the archive file with the right mouse key, then select "Open with other application" and activate "archiv manager" as recommended app.
Kind regards

I have no idea, for me it does work as expected, did only try with .tar.xz, .tar.gz, .tgz and .zip files, it opens file-roller by default when this feature is disabled.

Hi Branko,
in the meantime I experimented a little bit with the "properties" window, and now, the double klicking on tgz files works as expected.
