Bug Description

It would be really handy if Squeeze showed an estimated archive size. In this way, we can see whether or not creating the archive meets a given size goal.

I think this might be rather difficult. Different file types compress differently, so it would involve a lot of calculating/guesswork. Does any other compression app do this? I'm open to any and all suggestions/help on this one.
