My system runs the latest version of Arch and GNOME 3.22 and I have found that in this version of GNOME if one right-clicks on a file or folder or a group of them and goes to "Compress..." that they are provided with 3 different formats to compress into, however the options which allow splitting of large archives into smaller ones as well as the ability to encrypt them with a password are gone. This can obviously still be done through the CLIs of the various tools, however it would be useful to have such features accessible as they used to be through the GUI. Perhaps this is a side-effect of making all Nautilus activities central to the Nautilus GUI? Because I think I remember it possibly opening another program in the past which had these options.

Regardless of what it and how it did it in the past, these are vital options which are missing and I think should be added back for ease of use.

I am fine with using the CLI, but many users are not.

A report for this has already been filed upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=779941
