Would it be possible to make Hover Box show the contents of Zip files?

Hello XYplorer :kidding:
:idea: Another idea for Hover Box, is to have this feature nested, that is, on Hover Box, if you select a subfolder that contains subfolders, a new pop-up window ( Hover Box ) is showed, if an image is a pop-up (pre-view), etc..

Wouldn't that fill up the screen with popups? Like old school SPAM?

Mh, I don't get the hoverbox on .zip files with 0003 after activating the [x] Zip Files option. It works fine for text files, images and folders though...

Works fine here highend. Are you sure you have all the appropriate options checked under File Info Tips for both "Select item types..." as well as "Select controls..."? It shouldn't matter what you have as a Windows association for "zip".

Does this do anything?

Code: Select all

text zip_list2(, <crlf>);     //list selected archive

Yeah, it lists the root content of the current selected sciter-sdk.zip file

But this is what I get when hovering over it's icon:

Did you add ZIP to any of the Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories?

It's in "Web Files" but in no other category

highend, for me it always had 'zip' under Web Files, but enabling that option in the past didn't do anything for zip files. So that is a source of confusion. Even with 9.30.0003, enabling only that Web Files category is not enough to do anything for zip files. But now in 9.30.0003 there's a new. completely separate category, Zip Files, and when I enable that new category then the Hover Box works for zip files.
