For 7zip-files (perhaps other types too) while File Roller cannot do this.

it is available for windows and UNIX-like systems.
Pro p7zip-gui is the official GUI for 7z
It is made for 7z but it can also unpack other files.
Cons
Con Segfaults when creating large archives
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").
Con Doesn't show a progress UI while it's creating an archive
You have to "guess" when it's done.
Con Not in active development
Xarchiver has only one maintainer and it seems he's not working on it actively.
Con Made for 7z
might not support all features from other file formats.
