For 7zip-files (perhaps other types too) while File Roller cannot do this.
Something went wrong. Please try again.
When creating large archives it crashes and doesn't show you any helpful message (unless you started it from the terminal you will get something like "[1] 14858 segmentation fault (core dumped) xarchiver").
You have to "guess" when it's done.
Xarchiver has only one maintainer and it seems he's not working on it actively.
