File-roller uses gnomevfs for this; Xarchiver was born for being INDEPENDENT and independent WILL remain even if Jani Monoses (the only person to take decisions in Xubuntu) will decide to replace it with file-roller though its huge memory usage upon which you avoided to speak but that I reported: gt[file-roller-2.16.2]$ pmap -d 2440 | head 2440: src/file-roller /home/gt/Xarchiver_Test/many_files.zip Address Kbytes Mode Offset Device Mapping 08048000 248 r-x-- 0000000000000000 008:00003 file-roller 08086000 8 rw--- 000000000003e000 008:00003 file-roller 08088000 143560 rw--- 0000000008088000 000:00000 [ anon ] b6bc8000 452 r---- 0000000000000000 008:00002 DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf b6c39000 484 r---- 0000000000000000 008:00002 DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf b6cb2000 384 rw-s- 0000000000000000 000:00007 [ shmid=0x35a6 ] b6d12000 60 r-x-- 0000000000000000 008:00002 libbz2.so.1.0.4 b6d21000 4 rw--- 000000000000f000 008:00002 libbz2.so.1.0.4 gt[file-roller-2.16.2]$ gt[xarchiver]$ pmap -d 2465 | head 2465: src/xarchiver /home/gt/Xarchiver_Test/many_files.zip Address Kbytes Mode Offset Device Mapping 08048000 164 r-x-- 0000000000000000 008:00003 xarchiver 08071000 4 rw--- 0000000000028000 008:00003 xarchiver 08072000 92776 rw--- 0000000008072000 000:00000 [ anon ] b6ee7000 384 rw-s- 0000000000000000 000:00007 [ shmid=0x360c ] b6f47000 16 r-x-- 0000000000000000 008:00002 libpixbufloader-png.so b6f4b000 4 rw--- 0000000000003000 008:00002 libpixbufloader-png.so b6f4c000 512 r---- 0000000000000000 008:00002 DejaVuSans.ttf b6fcc000 56 r--s- 0000000000000000 008:00002 765114c77d97acf1cbec110390427be1-x86.cache-2 143 MB of file-roller 2.16 against 92 MB of xarchiver in svn NOT 0.4.6. > But we shall value zealotry and our egos more than user experience and > continue shipping xarchiver. If we really valued our egos we would ship lighter apps instead of bloating a light distro born to be run on lower CPU machines with heavy and memory hungry apps.
