I get nothing on the console, and the list of files remains empty
after adding some files (whereas the statusbar says endlessly "adding
files to the archive, please wait"). The window title shows that i'm
filling test.bz2, but the file doesn't really exist on the disk, nor
in /tmp. If i try to recreate a second one named test.bz2, it says
that it already exists. It tried with test.gz and test.tar.gz too,
still no message on the console (i get the right commandline when
extracting an archive btw). Playing with various settings in 'options'
tab of the add dialog didn't help too.
