I wondered if Slick will look in TAR files, like it does others.
#1: Yes, I think so.
#2: The HELP file hasn't been updated to reflect what archive types Slick supports.
For example, in "Find and replace" it mentions only zip and jar.
Look in zip/word/excel files: Mentions only zip,jar,xlsx, and docx.
#3 bgm_is_zip_file() supports: zip, jar, xlsx, docx, jmod, tar, cpio, gz, Z
#4 fileman_enter() also mentions tgz, cpgz and rpm.
Also save() has: ft_regex='.zip/|.jar/|.xlsx/|.docx/|.jmod/';
Shouldn't all of these be consistent?
What I was really looking for was *.DEB support.
"tar" seems to understand this format, but I guess it isn't a tar file?
"7z" also understands it.
Ideally Slick would determine the file type by the content, not just the filename extension.
Slick already does this for syntax coloring purposes -- so at least during a search, since slick is reading the file contents anyways, it ought to do this for archive types too.
