Hi,

This bug report is open and reported upstream for a long time without
news. Perhaps is it possible to do some progress on this issue. The
problem is the ".tbz" extension ... is that an official extension for .
tar.bz2 files ? I don't remember having some archives using this
extension ...
For me that's not really a bug. Or this bug is more an "should use mime
detection instead of relying on the extension. What do you think about
this ? 


Thanks,

Sebastien Bacher
