Version: Git (using Devel) OS: Linux Self explanatory. Either we restrict KDE Look users to tar.gz, or implement a logic applying the right command (tar xvfJ instead of tar xvfz) to those files. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use Get New Hot Stuff to install the Xenon or Helium Plasma themes. They come in handy tar.xz files. Actual Results: Nothing happens. Expected Results: Xenon or Helium Plasma themes are installed. This is a matter of implementing a simple extension detection logic (tar.xz or txz) and associate a command to it (tar xvfJ).
I agree this would be very useful. A quick test shows we are using plasmapackage for installation of plasma themes. I'll see what it will take to add xz support to that, shouldn't be much.
