  <title>Open an archive</title>

  <p>You can open an existing archive with <app>Archive Manager</app> by:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>clicking the <gui>Open</gui> toolbar button</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>clicking <guiseq><gui style="menu">Archive</gui>
      <gui style="menuitem">Open…</gui></guiseq></p>
    </item>
  </list>

  <p>You may also use the <gui>Open Recent</gui> option by:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>clicking the <media type="image" mime="image/png"
      src="figures/file-roller-open-recent.png"> Open a recently used
      archive</media> toolbar button and selecting a file</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>clicking <guiseq><gui style="menu">Archive</gui>
      <gui style="menuitem">Open Recent</gui></guiseq> to see the list of
      recently used archives</p>
    </item>
  </list>

  <note>
    <p>If <app>Archive Manager</app> cannot open your recently used archive and
    shows the error message <gui>The file doesn't exist</gui>, it may be that
    the location of the archive file has changed. You can try using the
    <gui>Open</gui> option to search for it.</p>
