Internal viewer vs. other application question is asked for files that internal viewer can't even handle.

[André]

If you try to open a file contained inside an archive (a .zip or tar.gz archive,
for instance) file-roller will ask you if you want to open it inside
file-roller's internal viewer or in an application. This question is asked for
files that file-roller's internal viewer can't even handle; it seams like
file-roller's internal viewer can only display text files.

If you instead choose the option to open the file in another application
file-roller will suggest that file's associated application. Frankly I don't see
any need for the internal viewer at all; I think the file should just be opened
in it's associated application by default.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open an archive, such as a .zip file or a .tar.gz file.
2) Double-click on a non-text file inside the archive, such as a .pdf file.

Result: File-roller will ask if you want to open the file in it's internal
viewer or in an application. If you choose the first option it will not work for
files other than text files.

Expected result: Open the file in it's assocated application. Live happily ever
after.

     - don't ask about "internal viewer vs. other application" if the internal
