compressed archive NSE (7Z/RAR/ISO etc)

umeca74:
here's something that should interest people who use archives a lot, it extends the zipfolder principle built in windows to other popular formats (as supported by 7zip). The namespace/shell extension works for windows explorer and all compatible file managers:

please feel free to spread the word :)

Ooh! As a long-time xplorer² user, I have to say that this plugin looks interesting.
Thanks. I hadn't spotted it in the zabkat blog feed.
Now, if only we had a plugin for an HTML file viewer too...   :tellme:

(Yes, it already does that.)

Pretty versatile.

Renegade:
That looks pretty darn useful. I would stop using ZIP files so much and switch with that. I need to give that a spin.

^^ Yes, that same thought - dispense with the use of .ZIP files - occurred to me, but then I straightaway recalled that, if one uses it, then Windows Desktop Index/Search would probably need a 7z-iFilter, or something, in addition to the existing ZIP-iFlter (assuming one already has the latter), in order to continue to be able to scan the contents of those files - which is why I only use .ZIP for archive files at present.

^ That iFilter looks interesting. Do you know how it performs? I tend to avoid installing much of anything as I've had performance issues in the past with some software and figured it's often not worth it to bother.
