Suggestion: improvement on archive support
Posted: Fri Apr 19, 2013 8:08 am
Well, the only thing I feel like needs an improvement, xnview is fine 
When you browse folders, the actual archive (zip or rar?) support unpacks it in the system temp folder, goes there, and start showhing images.
What I'd like to see is the archives being treated as "virtual folders", so they behave as folders while you browse around.
In 2 words, it's what acdsee does... but who wants acdsee?
the point is that when opening an archive you see it as a directory, with the files in it, you can move the files from it to another directory, delete some, and so on. Browsing only would already be a big help.
Well, sorry if first mail is to ask stuff, but it's a polite suggestion, and I think it'll be a nice improvement.
Thanks.
