(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: konqueror Version: 2.1 Beta 2 Severity: wishlist Installed from: Debian When I click on a .tar.gz in Konqueror the file is gently "mounted" into Konqueror file system trough the "tar:" protocol. I saw that the "gzip:" protocol exists but when I click on a .gz (not .tar.gz) file it opens KAR. I looked in the extension associations (mime) but the configuration is identical for .tar.gz and .gz. I would be nice if we could open a .gz file transparently as we can already do with .tar.gz. ARK should be open optionnaly. Gaël Fraiteur (submitted via bugs.kde.org)
somebody, tell me, why konqueror is so slow when unpacking big (~5mb) tarballs? it takes 10-20 times longer than when i use commandline how can we think about new features (khtml, kjs, etc) when the code we have today is highly unoptimized? why nautilus displays .ps documents 2-5 times faster than kghostscript (with the same functionality)?
.xxx.gz should call the ioslave which handles .xxx, with an uncompress on-the-fly in the input pipeline. If ioslaves can declare themselves able to handle xxx, you can skip the uncompress. /me adds another few votes to the 291.

Why does this still not work in Konqueror? (On Kubuntu/Breezy that is) I believe there was a time when opening a zip-file in Konqueror was some kind of embedded, not using Ark. I think I was using SuSE back then. Opening a zipped file (in whatever compression format) by clicking on it should be like entering a directory. I personally do not like the "Preview in Archiver" option from the context menu. Vote for this bugfix!
