Would allow the site to be an alternative to native builds to create archives.

It may also allow entire folders to be imported (possibly with resource forks if the ...namedfork/rsrc path is accessible -- unclear if type/creator metadata can be similarly accessed)

If you have access to xattr, the "com.apple.FinderInfo" key (of course, if you do that, then getting the xattr of a Resource Fork using "com.apple.ResourceFork" xattr key attribute is possible.)

I wonder how many users will then ask how come the old Mac game wrapped in a .sit that they've expanded under Windows doesn't work when you import it in InfiniteMac rolls eyes ughhhh...

Filed #255 about the idea from https://github.com/mihaip/infinite-mac/issues/164#issuecomment-1518514849 to get at resource forks, that's somewhat orthogonal.
