Creating Archive files with Xarchiver?
 
from what i gathered so far everyone got the same problem of creating archive files using the Xarchiver... if anyone got a solution do tell it can be very helpful for packing images and sending them via mail :Petrovich: helps but when its over 5 files and inside different folders it becomes an issue.

thanks.

Xarchiver not working is due to BusyBox having crippled tools.
Anyways, a quick solution to your problem is tapping the title bar in Petrovich and hitting share.

tapping share is nice option ;) but not when you trying to mail 30MB of pic's and they are all over, also the mail client limits you on how many files you can send

edit: could you elaborate what is BusyBox? i have no idea :P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BusyBox :)
It's not used a lot on PC based distributions, coreutils is used instead, you can install coreutils by typing apt-get install coreutils-gnu, binaries are prefixed with g so as to not conflict with BusyBox.
I might have a look at Xarchiver soon (I am the maintainer after all <-- bah), and might change it to use coreutils
