Hi Guys,
This is an old question which was never answered, so I through I might bring it back now that DO12 is out.
As part of our development environment, we have a range of package formats which are named with
various extensions (like .fab .app .devx) which are simply uncompressed tar files.
7-Zip is never fooled by the name, simply because it opens the file in order to fingerprint it before displaying the context menu.
Opus, on the other hand, relies solely on the extension. If the format was ZIP, I could simply add it to the Zip Files/Zip Extensions settings, but that doesn't work in this case, because Opus relies on the file being an actual "ZIP" format archive, and not simply an "archive".
Is it possible to add file types to the archive handler? I would need to add three or four. I'm thinking one of the following;
- Add an option to edit the list of extensions for the "archive" plugin
- Add the ability to detect file type for the archive plugin the way 7-zip already does
- Add a set of mappings to allow files of a specific extension to be handled by a specific archive format handler;
".fab -> tar",
".ors -> zip",
etc.
Is there already a way to do this?
Thanks
