Same problem here (XFCE-v3.1-i486)
even if I set the xarchiver to "open with"
xarchiver = Archive format is not recognized
============================================
temporary solution
If your iso is placed in /home/guest, you can open a terminal su to root and type:
root@porteus:/home/guest# mloop ./Porteus-XFCE-v3.1-i486.iso

after this, open the file-manager (Thunar), navigate into /mnt/loop and copy the content.
When done, switch back to the terminal and type
root@porteus:/home/guest# uloop ./Porteus-XFCE-v3.1-i486.iso

(replace Porteus-XFCE-v3.1-i486.iso with the name of your iso)

Or you can use the mount-manager (system > mount drives/filesystems/shares) to mount the
iso-file somewhere.

I can right click on the .iso file and choose 'mount iso'. It will be mounted at /mnt/loop. I can then copy files to another location.

Any idea what xarchiver needs to open .iso files?

Thanks.

Whatever LXDE uses works fine.

@ brokenman
Yes, one can rightclick and mount the iso, but then there is no umount option

about xarchiver:
"With the revision 25999 ISO support was dropped; isomaster is better!"

Philip did found out first..I think

@ hitsware
I'm not sure what you mean...as far as I know LXDE 3.0.1 does not use Xarchiver..
it is a different tool...
