Allowing simple gzipped files with extension gz #30

Open yakrider opened 8 years ago

yakrider commented 8 years ago

Since this works for tar.gz / tgz code to handle gzipped files must already be here, so it is probably a simple matter of adding .gz extensions to the list?

A lot of large log text files end up being individulaling created updated as gzipped streams so would be nice to just be able to load them into Atom.

Thanks!

I just googled my way here. This feature would be very valuable, especially since most of the docs that linux/tex distributions provide are gzip'ped. I hope you consider an implementation.

I hope you consider an implementation.

If it is open, we're intending to get around to it ... eventually. But we'd also be open to someone submitting a PR for it too :grinning:

I was also frustrated by this, so I made a plugin to open .gz files. Check it out: gz-opener.

It can probably be improved to not require an interstitial view by extending TextEditor, but it's working pretty well as it is right now so I decided to just publish it. I might improve it later if I have the time.

I pretty much modeled it after archive-view, but it's using archive.readGzip instead of archive.readFile. I'd be happy if someone could modify archive-view to support reading .gz files. I tried but I couldn't figure out how to modify a core package, so I just decided to make a brand new package instead.

Enjoy!
