Opening a text file with Notepad within a ZIP file?

I'm not able to open a text file within a ZIP file with Notepad like it's possible with the PC version of TC.

I don't know if it is a bug in TC2.5B2 or not possible at all with the PocketPC version.

Unfortunately this isn't possible. Why? On the desktop, Total Commander can wait until the editor has ended, and then delete (and if necessary, repack) the text file. On the pocket pc, clicking on "X" in a program doesn't really close the program, it just hides it. Therefore Total Commander Pocket couldn't even know when you are done editing...

You can create a button by dragging the program with which you want to open the zip file to the second button bar. Then tap+hold on that button to change it. Change parameters to
%P%N

Then clicking that button will start the program with the zip file under the cursor as the parameter.
