Support for QuickView of 7z and rar files

Post by *petermad »

Currently QuickView of archive files shows file_id.diz, readme*, or *.txt (in this order) if present inside the archive.

This workls for zip, exe, arj, tar, jar and lzh archives - it would be nice if it also worked for 7z and rar files - but maybe it is not feasible because these can be solid archives?

That's exactly why it's currently not supported. It would be strange if it worked with some 7z/rar archives but not with others...

Maybe make it work for solid archives below a certain size (10 MB)

I would like an option to disable the display of any readme.txt, regardless of the archive type.
I like the way ULister shows the files in zip and 7z archives
and only search a solution for RAR files.

And how does Ulister show it? - as a tab-separated text list of the files?

No, it shows the files in a tree with proper indentions.
Also, the elements have many useful context menu entries
like View and Extract.

Sorry, my fault, I forgot that I already have these settings. :(
That's the reason for always getting the nice ULister archive preview. :D
It would be nice to get this as a native function for the next major TC version.
