Re: Opening files from file-roller

* the file "/usr/share/mime-info/gnome-vfs.mime" describes postscript as
"ps" extension, and not "PS"

* nautilus uses content type detection for unknown mime-type.

* file-roller would have to unzip the package and probe for the mime-
type, as "PS" is not a registered extension. bug by design.

* file a bug report against gnome-mime-data or file-roller ?

Recently I wanted to browse the xorg documentation (xorg-x11-doc
package) which I downloaded and installed for my system (CentOS 4).
This package contains compressed postscript files (*.PS.gz) which I
need to open with file-roller. When I open these files the postscript
file appears in the archive but when I try to open the postscript file
(from file-roller), there are no "Available applications". If I extract
the file I can then right click on the file in nautilus and select
either "Open with 'PostScript Viewer'" or "Open with 'KGhostView'".
This is where I think file-roller is not doing what it's supposed to
do. Is this wrong? Is there some setting I'm missing? Thanks for
your input, it's very helpful.
