Public bug reported:

Suppose you have a four-file archive with files a.7z.001 a.7z.002
a.7z.003 a.7z.004 containing 500 files.  While extracting from it, the
progress dialog will show filename "a.7z.001" and "500 files remaining"
and the progress-bar will stay near the left end, for the whole time,
until extracting finishes.

If it's not possible to display progress (maybe file-roller is launching
7zip in the background and there's no feedback mechanism ?), the dialog
should say so.  Give what information it has (total number of files that
will be extracted, maybe), say progress can not be monitored, and don't
give the appearance of a frozen extraction process.

I don't know if the same happens for other file types.  Same should
apply to them.

Thanks.
