file-roller package

Compression level

Asked by ViBE

File Roller is very useful, but I would like to set the compression level to the highest. I found a lot of forum posts about that and the popular solutions are not working any more(?) like this one:
gconftool --type String --set /apps/file-roller/general/compression_level maximum

It does not work for me, File Roller still use the default level. How can I change if possible?

It's not working. I don't see/experience any new menu entries/differences.

dconf is the new gconf!
You can use dconf-editor or just:

gsettings set org.gnome.FileRoller.General compression-level 'maximum'
