Compression options for tarball are disabled

[applebait]

I can't remember the exact version but it isn't possible to change the tarball creation compression settings.
TIA

@applebait I'm not sure what you mean.

Note that TAR does not compress data, so no method selection here:

For GZIP, BZIP, XZ and LZIP, you can choose the method. Those are the TARBALLs:

If you go to the Preferences the Default method for TAR is greyed out. In the past we could set the level of compression for a tarball, not that it's what I want, I need it to compact a file always without compression, and if you say so, so in the past there was something wrong.

@applebait just checked and even version 0.1.2.1 (from 2009) has this option disabled in the preferences. This was the behaviour since the first begging, since TAR has no compression and this combo is useless there. GZIP, BZIP, XZ or LZIP can create tarballs and since they provide compression the combo is activated.

It was funny to check out 2009 work anyway. Thanks for the feedback @applebait 😊

Can I upload a video here? I swear it allowed us to choose a tarball with or without compression… :/

You can upload it to YouTube/Dropbox or your preferred site and attach the link :)
