11 months ago Hi! What problems are you having specifically?
Please consider the following details:
- The bzip2 format doesn't store any metadata about the compressed file, not even its name or attributes!
- For this reason, the 7-zip DLLs, and hence bit7z, don't provide such information when previewing the content of a bz2 archive.
- The 7-zip GUI avoids this by simply displaying the archive name without the
bz2extension as the compressed file's name. - I'm studying whether to implement a workaround for this in the stable v4.0 so that it should behave like the 7-zip GUI.
- Bit7z doesn't currently support directly extracting the files inside the compressed tar.
- You need first to extract the outer bz2 archive, obtaining the uncompressed tar; then, you need to extract the tar archive.
- To avoid extracting the bz2 to the filesystem, you might extract it to a memory buffer and then extract this latter (i.e., the tar archive) to the filesystem.
- I'll work on implementing recursive extraction of such archives, possibly for the future v4.1.
I did a quick test with your archive and had no particular issues while previewing or extracting it (provided what I wrote above).

Bug description
Unable to properly decompress and preview the format of tar.bz2. 7zFM show file type is bzip2
TestFile: Because GitHub does not support uploading files in bz2 format, I will compress the test files using zip, and you can decompress them for testing TestFile.zip
