[thunar-archive-plugin] good peazip.tap file, but can't create archives

[Genghis Khan]

Hello Maximilien,

The following is a different approach to utilize PeaZip from the
context menu and the Send To menu of Thunar.


Add archive
-----------
To create an archive, you can utilize the Send To menu:
~/.local/share/Thunar/sendto/thunar-sendto-peazip.desktop


Extract archive
---------------
Add the needed actions to peazip.desktop file:
~/.local/share/applications/peazip.desktop

There are two forms of "Extract To..."
 -ext2to: extract archive(s) to specified folder;
 -ext2full: extract archive(s), allowing to specify i/o
 options, password and keyfile;

There are two forms of "Extract Here"
 -ext2here: extract archive(s) here;
 -ext2folder: extract archive(s) here, each in a new folder named
 after the archive;

ext2to and ext2folder are enabled.

To enable all the rest, replace this line:
Actions=peazipextfolder;peazipextto;

with:
Actions=peazipextfolder;peazipexthere;peazipext;peazipextto;

All relevant files are attached.
