Description Toralf Förster 2007-09-11 09:53:14 UTC

Version:           3.5.7 (using KDE 3.5.7, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-gentoo-r5-pppoe

I cannot open at AIX V5.3 compressed tar files under my Gentoo Linux whereas at the command line of my Gentoo Linux I can do an gunzip t.tar.Z w/o any problems.
The konqueror gives me a "Cannot open file" msg.

Instead if I rename the file to .tZ and open it (ark is used for that) - ark recognize the format as "Compressed UNIX" - open it and ask me again for opening a "tar archive".

Hmm, it should work:

Comment 2 Toralf Förster 2007-09-11 10:33:20 UTC

>Hmm, it should work:
What I mean is, that for foo.tar.Z I got an error whereas for foo.Z the konqueror doesn't show an error. instead konqueror (respectivly ark) subsequently asks me for the (correctly) choosen file type and opens it fine.

Comment 3 Toralf Förster 2009-01-02 11:33:39 UTC

Issue remains within 3.5.10.
A file named as foo.tar.Z is shown as empty if opened with konqueror.
The same file - renamed to foo.tZ -  however is opened correctly (with ark).

Comment 4 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-04-11 23:42:32 UTC

I could not reproduce this behaviour in KDE 4.2.2 - foo.tar.Z opened as a common tarball and foo.tZ was considered a gzipped file.

Since there are no plans for a 3.5.11, I'm closing it as WORKSFORME.
