Bug Description

If I try to open a .sit stuffit archive file with file-roller it says:

There is no command installed for StuffIt archive files.
Do you want to search for a command to open this file?

It seems that file-roller ought to open these files (the source code mentions them).

I have just installed file-roller 3.6.3 (which now shows 'archive manager' in the about info after installing) because I read earlier that it will use unar as a free version to decompress arj files.

I find that unar works in the command line, but I do not know how to tell file-roller to use it.

I am using lubuntu 12.04 powerpc version. Hope this helps some.
