I am using Linux Mint 14 Nadia . Earlier whenever I right clicked any folder I got options like Extract it, Compress etc. But now I am not getting them . Probably I changed/deleted some of the utilities . I have nautilus installed on my system . Is there any way I can get those 2 features back in the options list when I right click any folder ?

Do you have engrampa installed? This looks to be the fork of file-roller. http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=101731#p577628 – slm Apr 22 '13 at 02:42

From the Linux Mint Forum I found the following post, Extract, Compress in right-click menu. According to that post you have 2 options:
- Use Caja instead of Nautilus (I believe Caja is just a fork of Nautilus)
- Install File Roller + xarchiver
According to that post these are the steps required to install File Roller:
- open synaptic manager
- search for file roller
- select file roller to install
- search for xarchiver
- select xarchiver to install
- restart

Can you also try installing xarchiver. Just came across this blog post: http://mayukhmukherjee.wordpress.com/2013/04/21/adding-archive-utilities-to-gnome-3-context-menu/ – slm Apr 22 '13 at 02:53

Didn't work for me on XFCE Linux Mint 13 with Caja. But what did work finally was:
$ sudo apt-get install engrampa
then:
$ pkill caja
Caja then restarted itself and afterwards within the last entries there is a "compress" option.
