Description Ed Catmur 2007-02-02 02:42:16 UTC 
cvs shared-mime-info (post-0.19) has application/x-bzpostscript, application/x-gzpdf, application/x-bzpdf MIME types.

Evince should support these; it's just a matter of adding them to libdocument/ev-document-factory.c.

ooh, dvi as well... will we be able to cope with that?

Well, this adds the {bz,gz}{pdf,postscript} types, but the dvi backend doesn't know how to uncompress files.  This should really be handled above the level of the backends, I guess.
Comment 3 Ed Catmur 2007-02-02 03:12:21 UTC 
Oops, pdf backend doesn't know how to handle compressed files either.  Not much point just adding .ps.bz2 support; I'll make this bug a generic compressed request.  

This will become important when shared-mime-info 0.20 comes out, because the current accidental workaround of going via file-roller will stop working.
Comment 4 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2007-02-02 09:43:35 UTC 
Thanks Ed, that question was discussed earlier though. Actually I am a bit against of handling gzipped dvi and gzipped tiff. What else format should we support on earth. It should be nautilus task.
