            Bug ID: 461103
           Summary: Compressed FITS files do not have file extension
                    fits.fz
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kstars
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Other
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
          Reporter: ha...@hnsky.org
  Target Milestone: ---

KSTAR can produces RICE compressed files with the extension .fits.  This
doesn't match with utilities Fpack and Funpack. These utilities change the
extension to .fits.fz and when unpacking return it to .fits.  If you unpack a
KSTAR compressed fits files with  Funpack you and up with no extension unless
you use an extra option.

Suggest to follow this tradition and give compressed files the extension
.fits.fz


See Fpack and Funpack User's Guide, FITS Image Compression Utilities

>>>    The compressed output file name is usually constructed by appending 
>>> “.fz” to the input file name
