Description dobradovic 2003-04-26 12:47:52 UTC 
Currently file-roller won't open a bzip2-file if it doesn't have a
".bzip2"-suffix. Background of this problem is the fact, that balsa for
example saves tempfiles for viewing without any extension, and so you cant
open attached bzip2-files (and probably other archive-types as well)
directly with file-roller.
Any will or plans to implement auto-detection in any way? Or should this
one better be addressed by balsa?

according to the gzip2 man page bzip2 files must have the bz2 extension.
