Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

It would be much more meaningful to the user to be able to view the progress of file extraction instead of the simple 'busy' dialog that pops up when using the Gnome Archive Manager. I'm attaching a screenshot of the current progress dialog, which is really not a progress dialog but just an indicator that the file is being extracted. Since file extraction is usually a CPU-intensive and (for large files) time consuming process, it would be much more useful if this dialog did indeed display a progress bar.

Hi, this is a bug that will get any fix from the developers. The bug is filed there at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153281

Here is a comment from the upstream developer:

progessbar behaviour depends on what file type is extracted, the exact
progessbar is only available for tar and zip archives.

Changed in file-roller:
assignee:	nobody → desktop-bugs
status:	Unconfirmed → Confirmed
