Internal zip viewer and zip compatible files

[jnewman33]

Hey all,

I am working with a new backup application that is creating zip compatible files with the .gbm extension.

I would like to be able to view inside these files by hitting enter just as I do with .zip files. Is there a way to associate these files with the internal packer?

Thanks,
James Newman

  Hello !
• As far as I know, you can't associate any extension with the internal ZIP packer (which is a DLL, not an executable).
* To open achives having "exotic" extensions, you ought to use the classic Ctrl+PageDown…

  Kind regards,

Did you ever try this? I did rename a *.zip to *.gbm and after that the [enter] sent me still inside the zip.

Can't think of a way to use the internal zip handling.

You can probably get something working with the multiarc plugin.

Same thing happens here when I press Enter over .ip files which are icon packs for a software called IconPackager. IconPackager used to (probably still does) use packs in zip format so probably the same compression algorithm is used for its .ip files.

True, but only if the gbm extension is not associated with any application. It yes, then only Ctrl+PageDown helps.
