(with a submenu for all the compression types supported by Ark); "Add to"
(presumably a most-recently-used list of archives created by this tool);
and "Add to archive...". As far as I can see, these work.

Sorry, Derek it does not work,
Yes, I too, am using kubuntu 7.10,
Have been trying to archive, using .tar only, on a 1.7GB folder, in the home directory,
the action is in the contextual menu for archive (just select) .tar
I notice it does work on smaller files size, say 650MB, but try 8-9 times on the folder in the
home directory, and its just hangs.
that is why I posted the problem in the first place... I don't know why a couple of
you, don't understand that, and want to flame the command line as a reply to the problem.
instead of trying to figure out what's causing the problem.
As I clearly mention before, in my previous emails to the list,
it worked fine in 6.x - 7.04 in (K)ubuntu
Side note: I did install sbackup and it works just fine, backing that 1.7GB folder
to my external hard drive (usb). and I restored it to my desktop just fine too.
Second: I will re-install some of the archive and compression utilities again
encase there a broken links omewhere...(grasping at straws).
Enclosing:
Just trying to report a possible bug? perhaps.
