Title: Backup files are silently ignored when using certain archive types Status in file-roller package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Depending on the kind of archive you create using file-roller, backup files (files with a `~` on the end of their names) are included or ignored. The user doesn't see any warning at all and will probably only discover this when they try to extract the archive. # How to reproduce the symptom. (I'm assuming you're using Nautilus with file-roller integration.) Create a folder `testFolder` (or any name but I'll use this one to refer to it) and create a file called `testFile~` in it. Then move to the parent folder of `testFolder`. Right-click test folder and choose "Compress". ## Correct behavior. Choose `.7z` as the archive format making it a 7zip archive and click "Create". The archive will contain the folder `testFolder` and in it the file `testFile~`. ## Incorrect behavior. Choose `.tar` as the archive format making it a tarball and click "Create". The tarball will contain the folder `testFolder` but it will be empty. Note that this isn't the fault of `tar`. If you create the tarball from the command line using the command `tar`, `testFile~` will be included.
