File-roller shows a ui dialog with a progress bar when the operation is getting long.. but if this is not enough, we could just ignore bzip-gzip tarballs on remote system, but allow it in local, but I personally would permit it for all... > > I think the most commonly used archives are zip and rar files, because > they can easily be used on a Windows or MacOS system. .tar.bz2/.tar.gz > files seem to be mainly used for software distribution. > > If you still wonder why the TODO comment was written that way: The UI > seems to support the addition of files for compressed tarballs, but the > command line not - at least not with my testcase. > > But the actual question is whether we want to a time-consuming update of > tarballs without any UI feedback, and does not depend on whether > file-roller supports this. > File-roller have ui feedback when the operation is getting long, try adding a 90MB file to a zip file and you'll see the dialog.. ARCHIVER TEMPLATES FOR A COMPLETE USECASE Also, now it would be interesting to have zip, rar and bzip templates files, installed by default, in the "new document" menu, so making a zip to send to a friend would be just 2 steps: 1) New document -› New zip file 2) Drag some files and drop it in the zip file. So we could easily make zip files entirely from nautilus, we could put the Templates on a subfolder so it would be: 1) New document -› Archiver files -› New zip file Another option would be that file-roller installs the Template files on its "make install" step, but Nautilus afaik doesn't have a general Template dir where all users could read of, currently templates are per-user in $HOME/Templates so this would have to be changed. I would like to read your opinions about this. > > > best regards, > Christian Neumair > > -- > Christian Neumair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >
