Hi Paul.
The problem is when you open a compressed file with links to other
files inside the same zip.
There is an example:
http://blog.emilianovazquez.com.ar/downloads/Lubuntu.tar.gz
Is Lubuntu home page downloaded to my Desktop and compressed using
Lubuntu (is the same Lubuntu, Windows or Mac)
When you download the file you have two options:
1. Extract the file to temporary folder. go to this folder and see the
file "lubuntu | lightweight, fast, easier.html"
2. Click on Lubuntu.tar.gz and click again on "lubuntu | lightweight,
fast, easier.html"
In the second escenary you will see the html but it will be
incomplete. Will fail to open images because those images does not
exist in the temp folder created.
If you run this example you will need to flush your cache from
firefox. This is necesary to load every file again.
Thanks
Emiliano
File-roller supports calling an app to open a file within the archive,
but at that point Firefox is seeing (within the html code) path
references to images, etc., and asking pcmanfm to locate those files in
the file system. And of course, they don't exist in the file system
unless they have been extracted.
I think it wouldn't work unless file-roller intercepted the app's
(Firefox's) requests to pcmanfm. It seems that file-roller does not do
this, but as someone else suggested, another compression utility might
have this added ability.
I may have missed something in this discussion -- I followed it lightly.
