Description Jerome Haltom 2004-11-10 06:08:48 UTC 
For an archive type with an index file-roller takes an extremely long time to
show anything. During the "Reading archive" process, the list should be filled
in on the fly. Perhaps some operations could be available on these files before
the entire archive is read. Also, a progress bar could be shown that would help
in some fashion: the length of the tar is probably known.

this problem isn't fixed 5 years after :)

In ubuntu 9.10 (alpha3) file roller takes lots of time to open big archives (> 1GB) can take 5 miuntes. It's not related to ubuntu 9.10 all version has this problem.

Thanks.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
