BZip2 Plugin shows compressed File Size

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

BZip2 Plugin shows compressed File Size

Post by *rm369 »

Hi,
when I "enter" a .bz2 file with the the BZip2 Plugin, the file size is shown as the compressed file size.
It should be shown as the uncompressed file size as in other packer plugins.

This happens when the uncompressed size is unavailable. The bzip2 format doesn't store the size of the compressed file.

Ah, thanks.
This is different from gzip which has a -l switch and stores uncompressed size as well as timestamp information.
