GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 302750
Support for 7zip (.7z) archives
Last modified: 2005-05-03 15:59:44 UTC
I would like to see support for 7zip (.7z) archives. It's a free, open source format, and it compresses better than anything I've seen. The Linux binary is called p7zip.
The maintainer has forseen your request and implemented this beforehand. Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 150268 ***
As an aside, I click "Search" at the bottom, type "7z" into the box, select "file-roller" in the Product box, and hit search, and I get no entries. Why doesn't that bug show up?
I think it only searches for open bugs by default. You can change it if you click the advanced button. When we upgrade to a newer Bugzilla it'll have a easier searchpage (allowing you to easily choose between open/closed/all).. this will take a while. Suggestions can be made at http://live.gnome.org/BugzillaUpgrade (no promises that something will be implemented).
