In other words, libarchive may only support "proper archives", but from a user's perspective, .bz2 is an archive format, too.
Wikipedia's article, for instance, differentiates between "Archiving only", "Compression only", and "Archiving and compression" formats, but they're all under the umbrella of "Archive formats", as the term is usually used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats A .bz2 file can be opened from the context menu with "Archive Manager", just like a .tar.bz2. I think it should correspondingly be mountable from the context menu with "Archive Mounter". -- Archive Mounter cannot mount single-file archives like .bz2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435579 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
