--- Comment #3 from Fabian Arndt <fabian.ar...@root-core.net> ---
This seems to be independent of the choosen format and it also happens if you
create an archive via. Ark itself - not only via context menu.

The problem with progress bars is how you calculate them. In this case ark uses
the file count, but this is cumbersome with big files or a mixed set with small
and big files. File size might be a better option, but could be misleading if
lots of small files slow down the process.

- At least for a single file operation the filesize would be helpful
- A data transfer rate would make a good addition
- One good solution might be to show two progress bars: current file and
overall progress
