Req: TC4A: ZIPX archive format support

[DrShark]

Desktop TC can create ZIP archives with LZMA compression, so would be nice at least to unpack such archives with Total Commander for Android. TC4A v3 already supports *.7z, so I think it should be possible to add support for ZIPs with LZMA compression, at least for files with *.zipx extension.

TC for Android uses the built-in Android ZLIB library, which unfortunately doesn't support LZMA.

Note that there is no full support for all zipx features in 7zip. For example, jpeg compression is not implemented.

Maybe you can try 7zip library for them? I tried es file manager, and it didn't unpack file from zipx packed by desktop TC if it had zip or zipx extension, but successfully unpacked it after I gave it .7z extension. Such trick doesn't work in TC for Android though.

I mainly need to unpack zipx packed by desktop TC which uses LZMA.

But other people will use it also for winzip compressed files and report a bug rather than a missing feature.

Desktop TC declares this LZMA ZIPX support as method 10 of ZIP compression, for Android version of TC this feature may be described the same way, then users won't expect support of additional compression methods from full ZIPX specification.
