In the changelog of XnViewMP 1.00 beta #1 I found the information, that you include zip/rar support to view picture files within archives.
I tried different ways, but do not get a solution to use it. Is it possible, that this new function do not work or do I need further settings to activate this feature?

when you double click in XnView's browser on a zip, nothing happened?

Thank you for the fast reply. I tested your latest upload of XnviewMP 1.0 beta #2 again.
Now it works much better.

ZIP files => works perfect!

7zip files (LZMA2 solid and unsolid) => works great!

RAR files - unsolide archives => works correct!


RAR files - solide archives (RAR4 and RAR5 format) :bug: :bugconfirmed:
I compressed a folder with pictures with the solid methode (more efficency compression - all files get compressed to one data block) are not compatible with XnviewMP :!:

This is an amazing feature that I have been waiting for a long time. But, I can't find how to turn it on. I've been scratching my head for 2 hours now. I downloaded the new archive 1.0 from the main page of the site. And I probably read everything on the forum related to opening .rar, but when I double-click on the archive, the false files are not displayed. Please help me with this. Thank you.
