File-roller supports the following formats:
Tar (.tar) archives, including those compressed with gzip (.tar.gz, .tgz), bzip (.tar.bz, .tbz), zip2 (.tar.bz2, .tbz2), compress (.tar.Z, .taz) and lzop (.tar.lzo, .tzo)
While file compression isn't quite as important as it used to be, due to the increased pervasiveness of high-speed connections, it's still useful, particularly if you've graduated to sending huge files across the Internet.
ZIP files created on a Windows machine have a ".zip" extension (and can be read by FileRoller), while tar archives compressed with gzip carry either a ".tgz" extension or a double extension of ".tar.gz".
The FileRoller help file lists the archive file formats and matching extensions, which are shown in table at left.
