Description Gábor Nagy 2005-04-19 15:55:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When I am browsing the local filesystem, and am reading documentation (ex. /usr/share/doc/), it is very annoying that gzipped text files do not open in konqueror.

Say I click on a file README, konqueror knows that it is a text file, and shows me the contents.
When I click on a README.gz, konqueror does not try to figure out the file type as midnight commander does for example, it just calls ark, and then I have to click README in ark's window to bring up ark's embedded viewer.

I would like konqueror to open README.gz transparently, as it does with README.

I think when it figures out what to do with a local file it should handle compression transparently, so it should zcat the beginning of the file, to be able to tell file types apart.

Cheers,
Gabor

As this is about gzipped file, there is already bug #19229.

Have a nice day!
