Description Takkat Nebuk 2011-03-07 22:48:59 UTC 
Compressing files to .gz using Nautilus/File-Roller does not use maximum compression even when compression_level was defined as "maximum".

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Set compression_level maximum for File-Roller
2) Compress a testfile.gz file using Nautilus or File-Roller
3) Compress same testfile using "gzip -9 test".

Actual Results:
File size is smaller when using gzip -9.
Confirm with "file test.gz": 
Only gzip compressed files are at "max compression", but not files from File-Roller.

Expected Results:
File-Roller should compress .gz files at maximum compression for gzip.

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time.

If you still use file-roller and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller/-/issues/

Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (volunteer workforce and time is limited).
