We have already 3 different backends to handle ZIP files and that's already hard to handle. This would complicate things a lot. We should try to focus on the libzip backend, instead. I played a bit with The Unarchiver with zip files. One nice feature is that The Unarchive does its own encoding probing which works quite well on some archives. So while my concern about addition complexity is still valid, it might still make sense to add zip support to the unarchiver plugin. |
