Re: Where to get Xarchiver?

I can manually launch the Xarchiver program and then unzip a .ZIP archive. Xarchiver works great.

Re: unzip problems

I also found that unzip by itself doesn't support unzipping from File manager. Documentation said I also need Xarchiver. Maemo.org's link to Xarchiver is broken, but I found the application here:

Re: Troubleshooting USB control

That's plan B, now that I know how extraordinarily difficult it is to get my Canon camera to talk to the N810 via USB.
