Bug Description

Binary package hint: file-roller

Hi, I often work with large tar files (2 - 10 GB are backups of my system). File roller always scan the whole archive before opening it.

For 2gb it takes 3 minutes to open for 10 gb 15 minutes, for 100gb..... one hour :)

It should scan only one directory level in the archive or scan the archive "on the fly"

Thanks, Romain

File Roller is a crap! Sorry for harsh words but be honest. Waiting for a 160MB archive to show up takes on my PC about 30secs (old P4, 2.0 GHz)... Total Commander in WinXP shows the main dir in 0.1s... Aren't there any replacements for this app?
