Here's the test case. Let's say I wanna archive .pidgin . this is a folder which has 4.5 k in 5 folders :-
shirish@
total 136
drwx------ 5 shirish shirish 4096 2007-09-09 19:22 .
drwx------ 163 shirish shirish 24576 2007-09-09 19:35 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 shirish shirish 7966 2007-09-09 16:51 accels
-rw------- 1 shirish shirish 11627 2007-09-09 16:44 accounts.xml

Now if I want to archive the the whole .purple to let's say .purple.tar.gz I can't seem to do that. In the dialog box we have All files or only archives & nothing about how one can do it. Attaching a screenshot of the same. I'm sure its there in the roadmap somewhere.
can you do this with file-roller and see if it works? We're tentatively switching to it for gutsy
thanks
