Description O.R.Senthil Kumaran 2004-12-20 08:55:43 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
In a Folder, I select a number of files and Go to Edit Menu and Select Create
Archive...Nothing Happens,

Right click on the selected File and choose create Archive, still nothing comes up.

This is a bug!


Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Nautilus. Go to any Directory.
2. Select Files in the Directory.
3. Go to Edit Menu and Select Create Archive.( Nothing Happens!!!)

Related:
4. Right Click on the Nautilus Window and select Create Archive. ( Nothing Happens)


Actual results:


Expected results:
File Archive should be created, by File Roller

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Problem 7 (semi-annoying): File-roller does not work. No, Nautilus does not
work, when I select a few files, right-click and choose "Create Archive".
Nothing happens. I didn't find this bug on bugzilla, I guess I'll file it later.
Workaround is easy: just open File-Roller to create an archive instead of using
the broken Nautilus-function.
