Public bug reported:
Im using a 32 bit Ubuntu 13.10.
I was surprised, I was compressing a folder but abnormally it became a
way larger after the compression.
What Im compressing are basically text files and as a matter of fact
text files have a maximum compression ratio.
How come the uncompressed folder is just 266.8 MB but the compressed 7
zip is a way larger, 843.6 MB ? For more information have a look at the
pictures attached.
Think first, what could be the problem.

I Finally figured out the problem.
The problem is I have heaps of hidden files and folders from bazaar version
controlling. When I see that on the folder properties it doesn't scan the size
of the hidden .bzr folder inside. It completely ignores this folder. How in
Earth am I going to figure this out without looking at the hidden folders/files?
