Description Sven Arvidsson 2008-05-03 17:58:53 UTC 
It seems File Roller still have some difficulty detecting the MIME type of certain files. This results in the unhelpful "View File" dialog, instead of launching the default application.

This can easily be reproduced with the attached test.tar.gz. Using "View File" on README.txt opens gedit, "View File" on README results in the "View File" dialog. Besides the file extension, these files are identical.
