           Summary: Okular fails to open incorrectly named CBR file
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: okular-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: chriscrutch at hotmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have some files with extension CBR, which should be (according to the
conventions of the extension) a RAR archive.  In actuality, the files in
question are ZIP archives that should (again, according to convention) have the
extension CBZ.

If I try to open the CBR files in Okular, nothing is shown.  It is as if the
file is corrupted.  If I change the extension to the proper one of CBZ, Okular
will open and display that same file perfectly.

Perhaps Okular could, as dedicated comic book reading programs do, determine
the structure of the file and open it appropriately, rather than relying on the
extension to know the proper archive type.  I tried to open these CBR files in
Okular, and by Okular's failure to open them, thought the files had been
corrupted.
