Description Gilboa Davara 2008-08-05 16:07:40 UTC

Version:           2.10.999 (using KDE 4.1.0)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

$ echo Hello world > test.txt
$ gzip test.txt
$ ark test.txt.gz

$ echo Hello world > test.txt
$ bzip2 test.txt
$ ark test.txt.gz

... And ark sees nothing.
Compressing the same file using tar -z/-j works just fine.

This may be related to bug 166986

Comment 2 Harald Hvaal 2008-08-06 07:35:04 UTC

Dario: Yes it's related, but since the .gz is not really an archive, but rather just a compressed single file, I would like to keep it separate in this bug.

It is correct that ark does not support this format yet. Should be rather trivial to implement, but it still needs new translated strings so it will have to wait for 4.2.

Actually we already did have a dup...
