In Konqueror, open a directory
containing
several compressed files.
Select all of the files.
Open the popup context menu (right-click).
There is no option to compress those files into a new
archive.
>
> Bug or misconfiguration? Sounds like a "feature" to prevent
recompression of
compressed files,
which almost always inflates the resultant archive to a
larger size than
if it was compressed once.
Any thoughts from others on this list?
About where in the code would I try to study this? The "Compress" menu
option does not appear at all. Only the Extract option. Kind of weird I
never ran into this before.
I needed to create single archives of my Slackware 3.5.13 packages for
easier downloading. I selected the files in Konqueror and then did the
proverbial deer in the headlights act. I just stared. :)
I had to archive the files manually in konsole. Doable for me, but not for
many people. That's why I'm asking whether this is a bug or configuration
problem. To me, there is no reason why a person can't archive a set of
archived files.
