Comment 3 for bug 296585

Because nautilus/file-roller takes forever to view, then extract a 67gig tar file. I decided to mount that tar file using "Archive Mounter", and then copy the archives contents to the desired destination.

However, as this report mentiones, when I right-clicked on the tar file and then selected "Open with Archive Mounter", nothing appeared to happen. At bare minimum, I'd at least expect a notification window to inform me that my tar file has been mounted to the file system, and provide me some lead way as to where I could start navigating the archive's file system. But Ideally, the nautilus window should go directly to that mounted tar displaying its root directory's contents.

The is a usability bug for sure; it is very non-intuitive to not indicate an output for an action, and furthermore, not to automate the obvious next step (of opening that mounted archive you've just mounted).
