I really like Konqueror for updating my websites, it gives the ability to update files 'directly' on the website without the hassle of an filezilla type of 'download, change, upload' action.
Working with linux Mint, konqueror is not standard installed.
Installing it via sudo apt-get install konqueror is enough.
But. I really missed the 'extract here' right click menu.
Of course this can also be installed with apt-get. The line
sudo apt-get install ark ncompress zoo p7zip-full p7zip-rar
does the trick.
