This is great, but I honestly hate the way that windows treats zips like they are just folders on your computer when they are fundamentally different, and I want to do different things with them. Sure, it's nice to be able to browse the files inside, but I can do that with 7zip.

It's nice when you can use the file browser of an app and I can open a file from a zip directly but I see your point.

[–] MrFlamey 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's probably best for most users, but I just personally prefer to treat them separately so I know what I'm dealing with.
