Zip, tgz archive file selection dialog
« on: September 23, 2013, 08:29:45 am »
A file import program of mine currently handles regular files.

I'd like to support archive files like .zip and .tar.gz as well. For this, it would be nice to have some sort of file selection dialog that opens the archive, shows the files within, and lets the user select a file.

Do I need to reinvent the wheel or has this been done before ;)

Thanks

Ug.  I don't know of any direct Selection Dialog implementations, but I saw some File controls in a library somewhere (tree and listview).  Not using the fpzipper though, it was a third party library.  If you don't mind mixing your libraries you can use that library to create a file selection dialog.  If you're interested in going down this path, let me know and I'll dig through a browser history and find that library.

You know, I'm sure I stumbled across those controls while reading through the zip64 review discussion you started a week or two back...

Thanks, Mike.

I think I'd rather slap something together using TZipper and friends... so no need to go digging through your history.
