Description Madhan Raj M 2005-03-22 10:56:07 UTC 
When i right click on any folder in / and click on "Create Archive", the create
archive dialog opens, asking for a file name.
When a file name is entered and "Create" is clicked, Nothing results
Neither an archive is created nor an error Message is given.

This doesnt work even as a root user.

Expected Result:
Archive should be created

Additional Information:
I got a warning at the terminal "Error Reading Directory file://test"

I'm able to create archive in / by opening file roller and adding the folder in
the / dir.
