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
