Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
Some applications can open files that have been gzipped or bzipped. For example:
1. Print a page to file (example.pdf, example.ps) from Firefox in Ubuntu 10.04
2. Gzip & Bzip both files (example.pdf.gz, example.pdf.bz2, example.ps.gz,
example.ps.bz2) using the Nautilus context-menu "Compress..." item.
3. Observe that all six resulting files are associated with Evince, and can be
opened without trouble.
Inkscape, GIMP and some other applications also support this on writing.
Similar functionality is desirable for gedit.
