Description Priyank Gosalia 2008-10-16 13:56:24 CEST
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008100513 Firefox/3.0.3
Build Identifier: Xarchiver 0.5.0Beta2

I am using Xarchiver version 0.5.0beta2. 

When trying to extract a tar.gz file, xarchiver incorrectly extracts it as .tar instead of decompressing the tar file too.

I traced the command that xarchiver runs when decompressing .tar.gz and this is what i've found:

sh -c "gunzip -cd /home/priyank/Desktop/auto_sampledata.tar.gz > /home/priyank/Desktop/auto_sampledata.tar"





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start xarchiver
2. Extract a file with a .tar.gz extension
3.
Actual Results:  
Extracts only the .tar file

Expected Results:  
It should extract the .tar file too.

Fixed in the svn development release. Thank you so much for notifying those bugs, they help me to make Xarchiver a good software.
