(with stable rar-3.8.0 and p7zip-4.58 ... but also tried with newer versions) Step to reproduce - From nautilus: select a file/folder > compress - (the interface appear) - select rar or 7z as extension - click on create button - No progress window and no file created. Trying with tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 works (I didn't tried with all other extension) Could be the same problem at #311035 ...but i wasted my time trying to find the way debugging nautilus (some tip for the future to do that?) without luck. Note: Upgrading to file-roller-2.28.2 fix all this (and works without problems with gnome-2.26)

For what I know mine file-roller is unable to create zip files at all, I don't know if it is related to your problem or it's another bug....
what's your file-roller version?

I didn't check, but I'm quite sure that it's not a nautilus-extension problem. For your problem u have to check first to have the related package installed (as in ebuild)... --------------------- elog "${PN} is a frontend for several archiving utilities. If you want a" elog "particular achive format support, see ${HOMEPAGE}" elog "and install the relevant package." elog elog "for example:" elog " 7-zip - app-arch/p7zip" elog " ace - app-arch/unace" elog " arj - app-arch/arj" elog " lzma - app-arch/lzma" elog " lzop - app-arch/lzop" elog " cpio - app-arch/cpio" elog " iso - app-cdr/cdrtools" elog " jar,zip - app-arch/zip and app-arch/unzip" elog " lha - app-arch/lha" elog " rar - app-arch/unrar" elog " rpm - app-arch/rpm" elog " unstuff - app-arch/stuffit" elog " zoo - app-arch/zoo" --------------------- Then if u're not able to make a zip try to launch file-roller in a terminal (or with strace dev-util/strace) and check for some error-message. Maybe from the main app the "archive-type-supported" code doesn't crash and simply doesn't show the zip option, where in trying from the nautilus extension this result in a silent failure. It work fine now with version 2.28.2 and I don't have time to investigate, but if u can... ;-) let me/us know
I have both zip and unzip installed on my system. Launching file-roller from a terminal doesn't produce any output, the option to create a zip file in file-roller is there also if it doesn't work. Anyway I'll attach the full strace log.
The full file-roller strace log is too large : 38.7 MB , what should I do? Should I attach only the final part ?
I have found the same problem with creating zip files with file-roller 2.26.3: The app exits without any progress bar, and without creating any zip file. This happens through the normal GUI interface as well, not only through nautilus integration. I have played around a bit, and found that if I enter a password for the zip file, then it gets created correctly! With one exception: If the password is simply a singe space (' ') then it still creates the zip file - but without any password associated, which is another bug I suppose. What I have found is that create a zip file with password 'abc' invokes zip with the following arguments: -y -P abc -6 <zip file> <files to zip> While creating a zip file with a single space as password ' ' invokes zip with arguments: -y -6 <zip file> <files to zip> So it is as if the creation process requires the password field to be filled in, otherwise it exists immediately - without ever invoking zip. Hope that helps resolve the problem...
It also does not work for me for zip as well as rar. Have not tried other compression formats.
2.28 is already going to stable
