Bug Description

Because of the way contractor currently works, SAMBA domains are compressable.

Of course, file-roller is not able to compress a SAMBA domain that is a collection of servers (that contain shares that contains folders).

Something must be done about this.

Contractor uses mimetype matching and can be set to exclude "special" folders as long as they have a mimetype other than inode/directory. This should be fixed by giving the workgroup a different mimetype. Aside of contractor this will also fix all the other applications working with folders (kid3-qt, VLC, etc).
