Sad to hear. I thought to treat archives like regular folders was one of the best suggestions. I use midnight commander a lot and love this feature. I don't understand this argument here. The situation is the same as with a ftp-client, why would one integrate a ftp client(similar to) into nautilus if you can handle it in a external program like for example gftp. Because it makes the whole interface simpler. You don't have to learn two programs. The same situation with a cd burning program. I love the integration of the cd burning abilities of nautilus. I can imaging a similar behaviour for archives, like an entry in the context menu of a file/dir to create a new archive of it, similar to burn this iso image. Please don't drop this idea.
