As noted there, file-roller handles a multitude of archive types but other
applications aren't wired to use it. There should be a layer made to handle
archive types (or is there one used with file-roller and others just don't take
advantage of it? if so, sorry for this particular bug report :-) which
fileroller can use to do it's thing. gnome-appearance-properties should also
use said layer. As should gdmsetup, and nautilus's "Create Archive" thing which
I guess is just a plug-in? ...Anyway, this is ridiculous that some apps lock me
in to certain formats and other apps lock me in to a different set...
meanwhile... NONE of them allow .7z which is all I use, personally. I know a
lot of people who like rar, lots who use only "tar" for a lot of things, etc...
This should def. happen.
