xarchiver should have a real progress bar

[Shirish Agarwal]

Binary package hint: xarchiver

Hi all,
 Right now xarchiver has a throbbing progress bar which doesn't give any info. to the user. Perhaps you guys could look at http://www.opensky.ca/~jdhildeb/blog/4037_KodakLoader_released.item & use the kodak uploader code to implement a real progress bar.

Thanks for your bug report.

This is a feature not a bug!

Anyway technically it is possible to have a progress bar
but only for extracting and adding files from and to the archive. The problem is that
I'm alone in coding Xarchiver and unfortunately the archive navigation code
has introduced some misbehaviours that take time to be corrected.

Do someone want to take care of coding such real progress bar? Xarchiver knows
how many files are to be extracted/addded. At each line of output produced by
the command line archiver exe, the progress bar is to be incremented. The difficulty
is that arj,rar,7zip have a different way of outputting the lines.
