XYplorer Beta Club

New (liscenced) user here. My experience with xyplorer so far is quite positive. Thank you.

My request is to be able to navigate zip and other archive files as if they were folders.

An example where this would be helpful:

I subscribe to The Economst and use their audio edition. Weekly I download a zip file of 80-90 individual mp3's. I like to leave the files in the zip for ease of moving to different devices / computers (work, car, etc.), but I like to navigate the zip file as a folder so I may pick out specific files to listen to. I would like to do this without having to leave xyplorer.

If this has already been adressed, I apologize. Search terms such as "archive" and "zip" bring up many search results on other topics.

Hi and welcome to the XY world! Glad to hear you're mostly happy!

Appreciate the apology but I realize it can be hard to find just the right thread...even I have problems sometimes!...and yes, this has been discussed in various threads over time with the most popular being this one, it seems: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1316

This also may be of interest: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2672

That's the best I can do at this point, ok?

Hello & welcome,

this is not on the roadmap. I see your point but other things seem more important to me.

j_c_hallgren: Thank you for the time spent finding those threads and responding . I apparently do need to improve my search skills. Or maybe just my patience as one of those threads is barely a week old.

Don: Understood. However, I do still hope this feature makes it in eventually.

The week old ones are the easiest to find! It's the 3-4 month old ones that are a PITA..you vaguely recall seeing something but have no idea of thread title or such...the year old ones are even worse!

But having been here in this forum for almost 3 yrs may help.

Glad to have ya aboard!
