This bug still exists... try the following: touch a.b tar -cf aTarFile a.b
Now you have a "tar"-file. Trying to open it in file-roller will produce an error. file aTarFile > aTarFile: POSIX tar archive (GNU) Renaming the archive to any uncompressable file-type (like *.zip, *.lzma, *.7z, ... or just *.tar) will give you a file which can now be opened by file-roller, even though this is "just" a tar-file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/26662 Title: using the filename to get the mimetype is not always correct To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/file-roller/+bug/26662/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
