Because nautilus/file-roller takes forever to view, then extract a 67gig tar file. I decided to mount that tar file using "Archive Mounter", and then copy the archives contents to the desired destination.
However, as this report mentiones, when I right-clicked on the tar file and then selected "Open with Archive Mounter", nothing appeared to happen. At bare minimum, I'd at least expect a notification window to inform me that my tar file has been mounted to the file system, and provide me some lead way as to where I could start navigating the archive's file system. But Ideally, the nautilus window should go directly to that mounted tar displaying its root directory's contents. The is a usability bug for sure; it is very non-intuitive to not indicate an output for an action, and furthermore, not to automate the obvious next step (of opening that mounted archive you've just mounted). -- "Archive Mounter" action should open mounted folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296585 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
