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...

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.
