Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I found (Somewhere) a 3 iso set containing over 15,000 custom wads and would be a mess to unzip them all in my iwad folder each zip has a singular wad file

Describe the solution you'd like

if the homebrew detects a .zip file selection it will do 3 thins 1)detect if a single wad is in the zip 2) create a TEMP folder for extracting the wad 3) unzip the wad into the temp folder then redirect the homebrew to run the wad when you quit the game it will clean up and remove the temp folder

Describe alternatives you've considered

unzip them manually (Painfully slow process)

I'm pretty sure gzdoom can already read single-zipped wads. Have you tried just feeding it the zip?
