Zip and Rar integration in Tracker or filesystem

[lelldorin]

Is it possible to make zip and rar running like window and linux?

• Running programs out of a zip/rar file
• Storing Date in a exisiting zip/rar file
• Set a password to a zip/rar file
• Open a zip/rar file with password

Greetings Lelldorin

For the first two points this would either need some zipfs or some Tracker rewrite with an addon to display virtual folders...

As for the password handling, it should be possible to fix the Zipomatic Tracker addon and Expander application to support this. Patches welcome ;-)

Another useful feature to have would be handling multi-part zip/rar files. The unzip tool doesn't have complete support for it yet (although concatenating the parts in correct order to a large zip file does work despite complaining about the extraneous data before the zip header).

An XPK-style system would be nice to allow to plug new formats: ​http://vesuri.jormas.com/xpk/

However, we would need to plug all formats (zip, rar, etc) to that new library.
