           Summary: Handling of archives could be improved
           Product: gwenview
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: aurelien.gateau free fr
        ReportedBy: christopher.martin utoronto ca


Version:           1.4.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

If I launch gwenview with a .tar.gz as an argument, nothing is loaded. If I load a \
.tar.gz by typing it into the address bar, then the window that normally displays the \
images is suddenly filled with a list of files. This behaviour both isn't consistent, \
and isn't what I really wanted, which was for Gwenview to treat the archive like a \
normal directory, with thumbnails, etc. in the normal thumbnail window.

A trick to force Gwenview to behave, is to add a filename to the end of the argument. \
So 'gwenview vacationpics.tar.gz' doesn't work, but 'gwenview \
vacationpics.tar.gz/001.jpg' does work. Interestingly, the file (001.jpg) doesn't \
even have to exist in the archive. 'gwenview vacationpics.tar.gz/foo' will load the \
archive like a proper directory.

Thanks.
