Unable to create a new archive

[Chris Jones]

Binary package hint: file-roller

Steps to reproduce:

* Launch file-roller
* Create a new archive on your desktop as a .zip
* Drag some files in (I dragged from Rhythmbox)
* Witness the failure to create an archive.

Oddly, the following does work:

* Make a folder in nauilus
* Drag files into the folder
* Right click on the folder and choose Compress

Thanks for the report Chris, this is actually working fine for me on Lucid, I've follow the steps you posted and works ok doing drag&drop from nautilus, rhythmbox, etc, the file is created and i don't get any error message. Is this still an issue for you there? Thanks in advance.

I agree, this is now working.
