Nothing particularly new, but a cautionary tale.
Now, I don't know if this
archive manager is in PCLOS or not, and haven't looked, but, I
have experienced something similar and it took me forever to shut things down. I was trying to build a play list in Clementine, and got the bright idea of just dragging a folder full of music files to the empty playlist. Unfortunately, it took that as a request to actually play
all of them -
at once! So the caution can still be useful....
From the article:
This is a very ugly title, and almost misleading. So let's clear it upfront. The archive manager, the GUI frontend for various tar, zip and other archive formats, is a good and robust and safe tool, and there's nothing wrong with it, per se. However, you can easily misuse it and cause a short-term if significant disruption of productivity in your setup.
