[Bug 1064117] Re: Extremly poor compression for .tar.bz2
Does the same behavior occur with command-line tar? (I'm guessing it will because file-roller is a front-end) If it does, please change the package to tar. ** Changed in: file-roller (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064117 Title: Extremly poor compression for .tar.bz2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1064117/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 1064117] Re: Extremly poor compression for .tar.bz2
I did a couple of quick tests and it looks as though file roller is not actually compressing the tar file, and it doesn't matter which compression method is chosen. Not sure why it has this effect on your files as the command works as expected for other files. Steps to reproduce: 1) In Nautilus, right click on backlightx directory, Compress... 2) Select .tar.bz2 3) Resulting file size is 10.2KB 4) Right click on directory, Compress... 5) Select .tar 6) Resulting file size is 10.2KB 7) Right-click on .tar, Compress... 8) Select .bz2 9) Resulting file is 870KB ** Changed in: file-roller (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064117 Title: Extremly poor compression for .tar.bz2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1064117/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

seems it does compress it just sets a min size (sounds really dumb for a compression app to do) from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2065402#4 : here file-roller is 'compressing' but will never go below 10.2kB So - a folder with a number of small files 43.6kB goes to 10.6kB 34kB goes to 10.2kB 15kB goes to 10.2kB 1.5kB goes UP to 10.2kB -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to file-roller in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064117 Title: Extremly poor compression for .tar.bz2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/1064117/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
