What do you think? <quoting from suggested bug report in my head> Nautilus has an undiscoverable method for creating non-tar.gz archives. We request that upon either right-click(after making selection)->Create Archive or from the menu Edit->Create Archive, the user is presented with a save dialog similar to Gedit's, excepting that the "Character Coding" drop down would be replaced with an "Archive Type" drop down, based on capabilities of File Roller. </quote> I am still unclear who is gonnna cut-n-paste that in a bug report. Perhaps we need to wait for the the Calum-Havoc-Alan H. to weigh in, or at least fail to frown upon the suggestion. ;-) -- Karim Nassar Department of Computer Science Box 15600, College of Engineering and Natural Sciences Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona 86011 Office: (928) 523-5868 -=- Mobile: (928) 699-9221
