downloading a .tar.gz file

downloading a .tar.gz file
Fri, 18 Jan 2008 17:28:14 +010
Hi,
on my Opera 9.50 (build 1754) when I download a file
with suffix  .tar.gz Opera suggests to store it
as  .tar.tar

How can I change this?

Many thanks for hint,

In Tools/Preferences/Advanced/Downloads, uncheck the box hide file types opened
by opera.

Edit the entry for application/x-gzip, and add tar.gz to the list of
extensions.
