Public bug reported:
I have a system running Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22 and I have
found that in this version of GNOME if one right-clicks on a file or
folder or a group of them and goes to "Compress..." that they are
provided with 3 different formats to compress into, however the options
which allow splitting of large archives into smaller ones as well as the
ability to encrypt them with a password are gone. This can obviously
still be done through the CLIs of the various tools, however it would be
useful to have such features accessible as they used to be through the
GUI. Perhaps this is a side-effect of making all Nautilus activities
central to the Nautilus GUI? Because I think I remember it possibly
opening another program in the past which had these options.
Regardless of what it and how it did it in the past, these are vital
options which are missing and I think should be added back for ease of
use.
I am fine with using the CLI, but many users are not.
