23.0.50; Small problems with doc-view.el

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

It's possible to open an archive file (tar, zip, ...) in GNU Emacs.  
It's also possible to press v (to visit) or e (to extract) a file  
from the archive. If this file is for example a PDF file, all fails –  
because there is nothing that could be converted? And *doc-view  
conversion output* is empty. *Messages* (and the echo-area) contains:

	File mode specification error: (file-error "Opening input file" "no  
such file or directory" ".../Archive.tar.gz!directory/doc/file.pdf")

Instead, when pressing ``e´´ or ``E´´ or ``f´´ or ``o´´ or RET or  
mouse-2, doc-view creates a large buffer ``file.pdf (Archive.tar.gz) 
´´ in DocView mode that just contains the welcome message plus the  
three options to handle the case, of which ``K´´ does not do  
anything, ``q´´ and ``k´´ work as advertised.

When typing ``v´´ to visit the PDF file and then pressing ``q´´ the  
buffer with directory view of the archive gets completely cleaned. ``g 
´´ to revert the archive works and re-establishes the directory view.

I think doc-view should be automatically switched off when in an  
archive ...
