Description Jan Paral 2008-12-11 19:07:26 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

If I remember correctly kpdf was able to open gzipped postscript files. It is very useful feature since when working with LaTeX documents it is better to store the ps figures packed using gzip since TeX can work with them directly when including into the document.

Nope.

Beside that:
$ okular valgrind_manual.ps
okular(10374)/kdecore (trader) KMimeTypeTrader::query: query for mimeType  "application/postscript" ,  "okular/Generator"  : returning  1  offers
okular(10374)/okular (Spectre) GSGenerator::loadDocument: Page count: 213
...
$ okular valgrind_manual.ps.gz
okular(10446)/kdecore (trader) KMimeTypeTrader::query: query for mimeType  "application/postscript" ,  "okular/Generator"  : returning  1  offers
okular(10446)/okular (Spectre) GSGenerator::loadDocument: Page count: 213

Okular supports PS documents and .gz and .bz2 versions of them.

Are you really sure you can open uncompressed postscript files?

My fault. It was not PS file but EPS (file.eps.gz) file which doesn't open properly.
Okular says: "Can not find the plugin which is able to open the document."
