Change default compression levels for file-roller?

Question

I'm using gnome on cent OS and have installed file-roller but i want to store my files in uncompressed archives there doesn't seem to be a compression selection within the UI but i read that there's a file you can edit to change the default compression levels.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this ?

Thanks

Either:

$ dconf write /org/gnome/file-roller/general/compression-level "'maximum'"

Or:

$ dconf-editor

1. Select org in the left-hand pane.
2. Select gnome in the left-hand pane.
3. Select file-roller in the left-hand pane.
4. Select general in the left-hand pane.
5. Select compression-level in the right-hand pane.
6. Set compression-level to 'maximum'.

Unfortunately, you cannot fine-tune this setting for different compression programmes. If you want all the freedom, you can use your shell instead.
