    In the file manager, go Edit -> Configure custom actions... and add the actions you wish. You could use the command "unzip %f -d %d" for the unzip action and "zip -j archive.zip %F" for the zip action. Feel free to ask if these instructions were too brief :).

    You can also install a Thunar plugin that will allow you an assortment of actions when it comes to archiving or unarchiving:

    sudo yum install thunar-archive-plugin

    Cheers.

    yuu can zip any archive not with its name but the general archive.zip but once it is zipped if you right click over you do not see the unzip action. Instead you have to double click over archive.zip and by default calls Xarchive to extract (unzip) them. It seems that unzip do not work
