It would be somehow cool to add a virtual archive access by providing a Storage-implementation and just mount the archive-storage instead of really extracting it. This would be a bit in the spirit of desktop archive-apps which provide you with a "virtual" view into the archive file and additionally offer the possibility to extract the thing somewhere.

Perhaps it would also be nice to install a sidebar tab with further archive information and actions, like

  • uncompressed archive size
  • extract here or there
  • mount / unmount the archive file

I have to admit that I could not resist to implement my own archive handling app which actual does just this:

Sorry for that. Normally it would have been better to bundle such efforts, but as there was little response here to pull requests and issues I just could not resist.
