Re: [opensuse] Transparent Archive (TAR or Zip) Access for Linux?

Hi,

Does anyone know if there's a Linux counterpart to the Windows ability to treat Zip files as if they're just directories, transparently deriving directory information and automatically extracting their contents on demand?

For what I'd like to be able to do, a KDE I/O slave will not suffice, it has to be system-wide and transparent so arbitrary scripts and applications can access it.


Thanks in advance for any pointers anyone has.

I don't know if it'll do what you want, but Konqueror lets you browse the contents of zip files.
