Hi,
Does anyone know if there's a Linux counterpart to the Windows ability to treat Zip files as if they're just directories, ...
Others have provided answers on this thread, I just wanted to ask a question:
Are you sure Vista provides this as transparently as you are requesting for Linux?
I've never used Vista, nor did I mention it. I only said "Windows."
Nonetheless, I don't recall the extent of this capability, but would we be surprised if Linux did it better?
Nah, they're pretty much on equal par. I have vista on one of my desktops at work (Vista, openSUSE 10.3, Win2K, WinXP) and as a guest OS in my laptop. On both KDE and Vista you can open compressed files as folders, browse the contents, edit in native programs (word, openoffice..) and then save back without having to manipulate the archive file. Neither seem to allow for opening an archive file as a folder from within a file open/save dialog box. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
