Description Darin Adler 2001-09-10 00:33:39 UTC
Level of deflation is all set by constants. It's not clear how module-specific
parameters like this should fit into gnome-vfs. There's a FIXME about this.

FIXMEs in both gzip and bzip2 about this

If we decide not to do this, that's OK, but if we do it, it will affect the
gnome-vfs API so we need to do it soon.

These settings affect the compression level (and also perhaps the performance
and memory use of the compression code) of files you add to existing archives
using gnome-vfs; for example, files you drag in within Nautilus.

Comment 1 André Klapper 2008-09-06 19:13:39 UTC
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome.

If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs.

@Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together.
