Description
The current dependence on the correct installation of both the FileRoller flatpak and the file-roller contract is fragile. FileRoller is specifically excluded from being shown in the Application Menu so it is essential that Files can be used for this function. Moreover the use of contracts is giving way to portals in the Flatpak world.
We should offer compression and extraction operations internally using e.g. `libarchive` in a similar way to Nautilus.
