Krusader and 7zip
 

Krusader (v1.90.0 in Gnome) is awfully slooooow when entering .7z archive; how to solve it?

How about when it enters another archive, such as *.tar.gz?

A baseline would be helpful. It could be a *.7z thing.

also if it is a very large file 1 or 2 or 3+ Gig it WILL be slow no matter what archive format

no, all other archives are ok. its slow even with not very large files.
same problem on stable and testing Debian.

Have you tried using 7za on the command line or the p7zip GUI app?

I have tried it (using debian/gnome) on my e-mail backups, which are around 700mb and packed with 7z. It is very fast but krusader version is 2.3.0-beta1. Maybe try a newer krusader version.

um, I was wrong, it seems to work fine now on Debian testing.
I could swear it was slow, maybe one of recent updates fixed it.
I'll try later on stable.

the problem is still there on debian stable. entering 150Mb 7z archive takes more than a minute. it doesn't matter if the archive is solid or not.

7z version is 4.58 beta
krusader 1.9
kde 3.5.1
gnome 2.22.3
