cd finding files and dirs inside a zip file too

Post by *Marcello Ptr »

The CD command today can already find a file and set the cursor on top of it.
cd "c:\docs\notes.txt"

and if it is a zip file it can even enter it
cd "c:\archives\zipfile.zip"

But with
cd "c:\archives\zipfile.zip\subdir\notes.txt"
the CD command stops working altogether.

It would be good if it would not only stop working but of course open the zip file and find the file "zipped.txt" in it too.

Big zip files are very slow to open and so is to move within them from subdirectory to subdirectory.

If for some reasons this wouldn't be possible to implement, would it be possible at least to have the CD command to automatically strip first the "\subdir\notes.txt" part of the full path string, which makes the CD command stop working, so we can quickly CD to the "c:\archives\zipfile.zip" file at least?
Together with the Shift+Ctrl+Enter command, which already retrieves the full path of a file inside a zip file, this would help quite a bit.
