Could not open "fotki.7z"
Archive type not supported.

and it doesnt list 7z files in "open" dialog.

or does it expect 7z instead of 7zr binary?

Same problem here. 7- zip support out- of- the- box with file roller would be nice!

Thanks for your bug. You can install p7zip-full which works with file-roller, it simply doesn't list the new "7zr" list and is looking for a binary "7z" or "7za"

same as the level of support, closing a distro wide bug only because one of three current versions (beta at that) got a bugfix.

First you are dealing with people with spend time to try fixing the problems you face, if you have a question or problem you can formulate some correct phrase for it, "LOL?" doesn't speak a lot and is not an useful comment.

It looks like you are not familar about how most launchpad is working. When a bug is fixed to the current distribution it's marking as fixed. Backport tasks are used for problems which need to be fixed to previous distribution. Backport to stable is not a trivial procedure though (you can read about it on the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates page), a minor problem like that one (the 7zr is not the most used format, that's not destroying datas, few people complained about it) is not a candidate for an update.

For the three version that bug is likely to concern edgy only, the 7zr was not splited on dapper

so its not fixed in current distribution, its fixed in beta. If this is not the place to post current ubuntu bugs then where is such a place?

When I wrote "current" I meant the distribution where the work is
happening, stable distributions by definition are stable (i.e: don't
change a lot). You did notice wrong by opening that bug, and it has been
fixed and the fix will be available with the next version of the
product. That works like that for most of computer softwares, you report
a problem, people working on the software fix it and the next version
they make available has the fix. We do only backport security fixes and
fixes for important bugs because uploading to stable is not an easy
task, a rational has to be written, the patch has to be tested, reviewed
and approved by the quality team to make sure it's not creating any
problem
