automatic uncompression

Hello,

I have some documentation, which is stored in gzip-ed format. I think (and read somewhere) that konqueror should be able to automaically uncompress these documents as needed and forward them to the respective software - I think, that is, what the gzip kioslave filter is good for. But for some reason, my konqueror does not do that and I couldn't find any configuration options to enable this behavior. Is this a misconfiguration and does anybody know how to fix it?
(I am using KDE 3.3)

Thanks,

Matthias

In konqueror, do this:

Settings > Configure Konqueror > File Associations

Find all tar entries, and change the embedding to show in embedded viewer.

Then choose application preference (ark_part or karchiver)

hth,

Thank you for your reply,

I can preview tar-archieves in konqueror - even gzipped ones - that is not my problem. What I would like to be able to, is to use gzipped html documents (and pngs, gifs etc.) just as if they were not compressed. So if, for example, some folder contains a index.html.gz file, I would like to click on it and view it, just as if it were a normal index.html file. I don't know, if that is a current feature of konqueror ... (This behavior works for ps.gz files. Maybe I just have to add html.gz as a file-extension to the text/html mime-type... I'll try that.)

Greetings,

Matthias

No, adding *.html.gz to the file-extensions of text/html does not do it - it now shows the compressed data in konqueror. Well ... Any other ideas?

Greetings
