Description of problem: Evince doesn't open nor thumbnails CBR files (Comic Book RAR archives), even though archive manager opens them. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.22.1 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. ask evince to open a CBR file 2. it won't, complaining the format is not supported Actual results: Can't open, no thumbnails. Expected results: Opens, with thumbnails in nautilus. Additional info: I'm only opening this bug because archive manager simply opens these files if you rename them as 'rar', even in a clean installation (so no additional software or library was needed for that), so I see no reason why evince shouldn't.
Install rpmfusion-nonfree repo from https://rpmfusion.org/ , then install unrar. After that, evince will open your CBR files. It would be nicer if it could use libarchive, like the archive manager does, but that's a RFE for upstream...
Thanks, Sorry I assumed this was a fedora bug, I now see that evince doesn't yet use libarchive and a corresponding bug already exists: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720742 I'll follow it over there. Thank you.
