Engrampa features and specs

  • Integration with MATE Desktop
    Engrampa is a default archiver for the MATE Desktop Environment, offering seamless integration and a consistent user experience within the MATE interface.
  • Support for Multiple Formats
    Engrampa supports a wide range of archive formats like zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, and more, making it versatile for various compression needs.
  • User-Friendly Interface
    Its graphical user interface is straightforward and easy to use, catering to users who prefer GUI-based tools over command-line operations.
  • Free and Open Source
    Engrampa is open-source software, allowing users to contribute to its development, customize it, and use it freely without licensing costs.
  • Lightweight
    Designed to be lightweight, Engrampa is efficient in terms of system resource usage, making it suitable for older machines or those with limited resources.

Possible disadvantages of Engrampa

  • Limited Advanced Features
    Compared to some other archiving tools, Engrampa might lack advanced features needed by power users, such as multi-volume archiving or automation scripts.
  • Primarily for MATE Users
    While it can be used outside of MATE, Engrampa is largely tailored to users of the MATE Desktop Environment, which might limit its appeal to users of other desktop environments.
  • Potential for Fewer Updates
    As a community-driven project, the frequency and scope of updates and enhancements might not be as robust as those provided by commercial software.
  • Relatively Niche User Base
    Since it's part of the MATE ecosystem, Engrampa might have a smaller user base compared to more ubiquitous archiving tools, potentially resulting in less community support.

  • TIL there's a fork of the unmaintained p7zip port of 7-Zip
    The p7zip port of 7-Zip is several releases behind and the project seems to be abandoned. I discovered this when a large archive failed to extract with Engrampa which uses it. It reported a "Headers Error" which is due to a compatibility problem between zip format implementations. 7-Zip has a fix but the port doesn't. But there's a fork on GitHub which is being actively maintained. Check it out. Source: over 3 years ago
  • What compression tool you mainly use?
    I use Engrampa. Which archive format I use depends on the use case. For example, if Windows users are involved, I usually use Rar archives. Under Linux, I usually use tar.xz. Source: about 4 years ago

  • Native BRAW Support in Final Cut Pro!
    Exciting Times! Lots of very smart developers told me it would be impossible to add BRAW support to #FCPX. Lots told me it would be impossible to do it on the App Store.

    However, I am working in Adobe 99% of the time. I have not spent much time with Command Post but I sense that it is a hill I have neither the time nor technical knowhow to climb. So I'm curious if there's anything else out there that is close to the feel and has inertia like the Speed Editor, that is easy to work with/has some low level integration with Premiere. I will say, when I have to use the apple Magic... Source: over 2 years ago
  • No board is safe from modding.
    I can confirm that CommandPost works! I tried it out today and while it took me a few minutes of tweaking the settings, now the Speed Editor is fully rebindable in any app in MacOS either using keyboard shortcuts or menu iteums. It take a little getting used to the CommandPost interface, but once you’ve mapped everything, you don’t have to use it unless you want to make changes. My major issue is that there’s no...

  • is there a way for the playhead to always be visible?
    CommandPost can do that for you, but it might be a bit wonky: https://commandpost.io. Source: about 3 years ago
  • [META] Can we add a section on the wiki with useful apps?
    CommandPost - Plug-in suite for Premiere and FCPX primarily for using control surfaces. Mainly I’ve used this to enable scrolling timeline on FCPX but I’m sure there’s so much more to discover in this app. Source: about 3 years ago
