Engrampa is an archive manager for the MATE desktop environment, but it can be used on other desktop environments as well. It allows you to create, extract, modify, and view various archive formats.

Engrampa supports a wide range of archive formats including: 7z, arj, bz2, cab, chm, cpio, deb, dmg, iso, jar, lha, lzh, lzma, rar, rpm, tar, tbz2, tgz, zip, zoo, and single gzip files.

It offers a graphical user interface to easily manage archive files, allowing users to browse the contents of archives, extract specific files or the entire archive, create new archives from files and folders, and modify existing archives by adding or removing files. The program supports password-protected archives and allows users to set compression levels. It integrates seamlessly with the MATE desktop and supports drag-and-drop functionality.

Engrampa relies on external command-line tools for supporting various archive formats. Make sure the respective tools (e.g., `rar`, `p7zip`, `unzip`) are installed on your system.

When invoked without command-line arguments, Engrampa opens its graphical interface. From there, users can browse files, create new archives, and open existing ones.

Engrampa is the default archive manager for the MATE Desktop Environment. It is a fork of File Roller which was previously the default archive manager of the GNOME desktop environment before being replaced. Engrampa inherited functionality and broad format support from File Roller.

Engrampa's development focuses on providing a simple and intuitive GUI for handling archive files within MATE.
