Description Didier Roche 2008-07-16 06:26:05 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.

Marking as a duplicate of a newer bug (which has a slightly better description).
