Ticket #11981 ([PATCHSET] A few cleanups in media_addon_server) closed
Ticket #12204 (Cannot uncompress .xz file format) closed
The xz package is part of the image. I guess you don't use a freshly downloaded image, but keep updating older installations. Something similar happened when the DejaVu font was outsourced. Installing packages from within apps would be a new enhancement ticket.
I remember PulkoMandy mentioning the idea to have archivers etc. work the same way as Translators today. Probably an R2 topic... Closing ticket.
Updated yab and Clipdinger packages.
Ticket #12205 ([ShowImage] takes too long to open an image) created
Mounted an NTFS partition (in read only mode) which has ~500 files of various file types. Double clicking some JPEG images takes about 8 seconds to open in ShowImage. During that time I can hear HDD seeking/reading noise. Probably ShowImage is trying to read the directory where this file is for caching.
Interestingly, opening the same image from Terminal using "ShowImage /path/to/image.jpg" takes 5 seconds. So there's some kind of a difference here about how the file is being opened.
Some other JPEG files in the same folder open within 3 seconds (using double click) in ShowImage.
It takes only 1 second to open the same file in QupZilla/WebPositive.
Opening it in DiskProbe is instant.

Ticket #12204 (Cannot uncompress .xz file format) created
Downloaded a FreeBSD iso image:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/10.1/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso.xz
However, Haiku is unable to decompress the file. Expander shows an empty directory.
