Engrampa
Engrampa is the official archive manager for the MATE desktop. It is a graphical front-end to command-line archiving tools such as tar, zip, and 7z, forked from File Roller. You can create new archives, add and remove files, inspect contents, and extract files — all without touching the terminal.
