File-Roller is unable to open gzip-compressed files like pci.ids if they are missing an .gz extension
Last modified: 2015-07-15 14:35:34 UTC
If I try to open an gzip file(test) which has no .gz file-extension I get an error. I would expect that File-Roller checks the file-type of test like 'file' does it $file test test: gzip compressed data or $file -i test test: application/x-gzip and decompresses it. If I try to open an gziped File which has no .gz extension File-Roller gives me an error message which says: >test< konnte nicht geöffndet werden. Archivtyp nicht unterstützt. Note that if the file extension is ended by .tar, the error dissapear. So, the error only appears with a non (.tar or .tar.gz) extension for the filename.
