Show STLs inside zip archives

Open Kimbaras opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

It would be really nice to show STLs while they are inside a Zip archive (or any other archive for that matter, but mostly will be in .zip, at least for me).

Bit of background to better understand the request / feature (I hope):

I'm creating and organizing a repository of STLs files, currently uploaded and hosted through Nextcloud, but the files themselves are on a shared network drive. Most of these are not singular files but instead an archive of multiple STLs.

Would it be possible to show (in this case without either editing or else, just showing the preview) of the files inside the archive?

Thanks!

I absolutely agree! I added a load of ZIPs to my library the other day, and want to index them, so yes, at least showing what's in there even if it has to be without preview, would be awesome.

Cool!

Unfortunately can't really help with the code part as it's not my field of work, but I offer myself as a beta tester if needed :)

This would be really nice to have!

We have libarchive built in now, for upload, so we should be able to look inside compressed files and list the contents.
