Move files from inside an archieve

Probably too late for TC 7.5, however, I still like to place my suggestion because I often need that feature and get the 'TC - function not supported - popup'. I think it's not too difficult to code this feature as archive repacking is already supported by TC.

Details:
You doubleclicked an archive e.g. ZIP and TC shows the containing files:
If you try to move a file you will get 'function not supported'.
If you try to delete a file it works seamlessly (repacking).
If you try to copy a file it works too.

Since move is nothing else than copy+delete it is hard to understand why this is not supported. Might be just a forgotten function.

It's not supported because especially with external unpackers TC cannot control what was really unpacked and what not, so it would be too risky to delete the files after unpacking.
