[Feature Request] Transparently edit gzip'ed files #208
Comments
Sounds like an interesting request. How did jEdit and mcedit choose the compression level? I personally would not like it to have a short edit blow up the file size significantly. |

One of the really neat things jEdit and mcedit do, is allow transparent editing of gzip'ed files. They can open, edit, and save e.g.
.xml.gz
files and the user never needs to worry about the compression. In the case of mcedit, it can even handle .bz2 and .xz and others.Please add similar transparent handling of compressed files to SEE.
