I've recently post 2 archives in the textures art type.

The first version of both the archives contained an error, so tried to remove the broken file and replace with the fixed archive.

the archive are .tar..bz2 format and the updated version the filename gets modified, by adding a version number like this. .tar_0.bz2

This looks like it may break some unachiving software, on Ubuntu I have click unarchive it twice.

also the texture previews do not seem to get updated they still seem to point to the broken image files.

the two archives are called:

sun.tar.bz2

camo.tar.bz2

did I do a wrong thing trying remove the broken archives?

What is the correct procedure for updating an archive?

This is a bug that I feel like I've fixed before somewhere else on the site.  For now, the work around is just to use zip or 7z.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

just tried replacing sun.tar.bz2 with sun.7z

previews under Textures in this Pack still point to the original file

not the new archive.
