Can't browse archives in 1.6.1 anymore

Subject: Double clicking archives in 1.6.1 doesn't open them in XnView MP anymore.
XnView: MP 1.6.1 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 7 Professional 64bit
I just upgraded from 1.4.4 to 1.6.1 and was confused that I couldn't browse archives anymore.
Effect: archives get instead just opened with the associated program.
To reproduce:
1. unpack "XnView 1.6.1 win x64" from the .zip
2. try to open any archive
Actual behaviour (bug): 7zip gets opened. (associated app for archives)
A somewhat related bug is that even /if/ browsing archives works, right clicking archives will keep "Open" greyed out anyways.
Expected behaviour: XnView browses the archive.
What I've found out after literally mix 'n matching versions 1.4.4, 1.4.5, 1.5.5 and 1.6.1 I've been able to "fix" the problem by just using the "archive.dll" of 1.5.5
That literally makes it work again while using everything else that comes with 1.6.1
The dll in 1.6.1 is also ~200 kb smaller, maybe something's wrong with it?
I'm also aware that since I am on Win 7, this might be an issue exclusively to Win 7, and if that should be the case, nevermind this issue.
But I wanted to mention it anyways, in case it's something further reaching.

I'm afraid it's not, I'm no longer on Win7 and got on Linux with 1.6.2 the exact same issue...
Do I need to manually install an additional plugin? Because I've noticed that under About > Plugins there's only two, and both are image format plugins.
I can't find anything about archives.

Yes, I was used to being able to "look into" archives to check the images in them without having to unpack everything.
But as mentioned, it doesn't work anymore. The "Open" entry in the context menu in the browser is greyed out and double clicking just runs my Archive Manager instead.
In the settings for "Custom Filter" I also don't have the option to set Archives to only "None" or "Associated program".

I've put the file inside the archive in "opt/XnView/lib" as that was the only "XnView/lib" I could find.
I've also changed the "libcrypto.so" link that pointed at "libcrypto.so.1.1" to point at the 1.0.0 instead, but nothing changed anything so far.
Is this something that requires more than a program restart to take affect?

libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f27d6b45000)
There's only "libcrypto.so.1.1.0" installed "globally" on my system, as far as I can tell from the Synaptic Package Manager.
Edit: I've manually copied the 1.0.0 file into the system dir and "ldd" showed it right away, but XnView itself doesn't seem to care (yet?), no change.
Can't open archives nor do I have the option to set them to be opening within XnView, just still Associated programm.
