I lean towards showing the compressed files in the browser (and allowing them on the start-up command line), but emitting an error instead of calling the registered callback. The error would say that compression isn't supported for this type and that the file needs to be decompressed by hand for use. This avoids the mysterious "some things appear in the browser, some don't" behavior. --Eric On Friday, May 16, 2003, at 10:57 AM, Thomas Goddard wrote:
Hi Eric,
The Open dialog should show all *.gz files if "File type" is set to "all". If "File type" is set to a specific type that does not support decompression it will not show *.gz files.
If decompression is not supported then "all (guess type)" mode will not automatically pass a compressed file of that type to the open routine. Instead it will popup the normal dialog for unrecognized types, or popup a dialog saying compression is not supported for that type.
