Description Eugenia Loli-Queru 2004-05-18 22:21:39 UTC 
I found that the "create archive" option on the nautilus context menu *only 
works* when you have selected either folders or existing archives (!). When I 
select normal files (one or more), it simply doesn't work, it doesn't open the 
little popup window to ask me if I want to create an archive.

The correct behavior would be to archive files selected as well (without 
including their folder heriarchy).

I am also experiencing this problem with DroplineGnome 2.6.1. I can, however,
use file-roller -d <filename\s> from a terminal, recieve the "Create Archive"
dialog, and create an archive just fine.

Try patch in 142530
Comment 3 André Dahlqvist 2004-09-11 17:09:27 UTC 
Yes, this is a duplicate of bug 142530. Can someone with bugzilla priviliges
mark it as such?
