Zip A Folder

Hi all,
new to suse i wonder how I can zip a folder on the desk in order to send it by mail
thanks

by using ark or file-roller
kmenu-utilities-ark

it was too easy with Mandrake : just a right clic on the folder or file and select "Zip this file"
the same with "tar this file" or "Bzip2 tis directory"
I wonder if we can d this with suse ?

It can't be that difficult to fix if it doesn't exist. Write shell scripts for each task and hook them to the menu that appears on right clicking a file or a folder.
I'm not at a SuSE computer right now but given some spare time and a computer on my local network ...

That is integrated into the konqueror menu.
Just select the file, right click -> Actions -> create zip archive

thanks,
in Mandrake you can right clic on the folder laying on the desk
that's different...

I have konqueror 3.1.4 and no ZIP menu in the right clic on a folder ...

I have to learn howto make a script

thanks

Wow! Old is not always wise! I make a lot of archives but have never noticed this feature. Nice. Never too old to learn.

thank you !

why not give me the recipe how to make the proper script to add up this feature in the right clic menu ?

I am only 73 and eager to learn (also a bit slow)

see you to-morrow
