New nautilus is not using file-roller any more by default, it has switched to its native expression, but I want to use file-roller on right click.

I found this answer, which worked in Ubuntu 17.10. But nautilus-actions package is not yet Ubuntu 18.04's official repositories.

So is there any other method for this purpose?

Ubuntu 18.04+ method:

Since nautilus-actions package is not yet in Ubuntu 18.04's official repositories, it's better to use nautilus script instead of nautilus-actions, which doesn't require any additional installation like for nautilus-actions.

You can do it easily by below commands:

echo file-roller -d \$@ > ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/File-Roller
chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/File-Roller

After that you can see File-Roller option in right click Scripts menu.

As NOrbert said, filemanager-actions is packaged in ppa:daniel-marynicz/filemanager-actions PPA .

You can install them as usual:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daniel-marynicz/filemanager-actions
sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions-nautilus-extension # Nautilus
sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions-caja-extension # Caja
sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions-nemo-extension # Nemo
sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions* # simply all filemanagers

echo file-roller -d $@ > ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/File-Roller
chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/File-Roller
