GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 323325
file-roller denies opening bzipped tarballs with *.tbz extension
Last modified: 2006-03-19 21:27:16 UTC
Distribution/Version: 2.12.1 Compress a tarball using bzip2 (tar cjf foo.tbz *) and save it with .tbz extension. Try opening it in file-roller - as Nautilus assigns it to file-roller - you just double click it. File-roller will try opening the archive, and post a message "Could not open foo.tbz. Archive type not supported". Now change the extension of the archive to *.tar.bz2 and file-roller will open it just fine. It's interesting to note, that Nautilus assigns "bz2" note for icons of my *.tbz files and "tbz" on *.tar.bz2 files.
