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.

Sounds like you are asking for a Filesystem in USErspace aka FUSE.

Next step is to visit the FUSE project page on SourceForge
(http://fuse.sourceforge.net/), and look at the list of available
filesystems based on FUSE.
For archives, you'll need
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/ArchiveFileSystems

I think you'll find what you need over there.
