BTW, I'm using SUSE Linux 10.1 and the KDE version it's "3.5.1 level a" but seams that 3.5.3 has the same "vices". Maybe I'll tried version 3.5.4 Lívio ----- Original Message ----- On Tuesday 29 August 2006 02:16, Daniel Bauer wrote:

Hi all,

Some time ago I posted a message regarding the fact that Konqueror, with the context menu, compressed files with rar adding "RAR" as extension, instead of "rar". From the posted messages, was not possible to arrive to a conclusion. Now I found even a more strange behavior.

Downloading

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/cdrtools-2.01.01a11.tar.gz ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/cdrtools-2.01.01a11.tar.bz2

and trying to preview them in Konqueror, I receive the error message "Couldn't open the file, probably due to an unsupported file format". The unsupported file format is TAR. Could be damage files, but I can open them with the command line. Other files, with the same extensions, can be previewed in Konqueror.

The strange fact is that I can preview these two files in Konqueror in SuSE 9.2 . Any ideas?

Same here with Suse 10.0 / KDE 3.5.3

The KDE archive tools seem to work somehow different than the command line tools and have some problems. For example I cannot archive large directories in a tar.gz file with Konqueror (it stops somewhere and leaves incomplete broken archives), while doing it from the command line just works.

OTOH, i just now clicked several tars etc that I had laying around and it opened them just fine on 10.1 (KDE 3.5.4). I open files with extensions like .tgz .tar.bz2 .tar.gz and just regular old .zip all with Kong. Just for grins, I renamed a file to .tar.GZ (upper case) and then Kong launched ark instead of handling it directly, ark handled it fine, with one warning about a nonstandard extention.
