Hi,
When I'm searching (ALT-F7) for a file with the "Search archives" tick marked, TC10.0 does not seem to correctly find files within the tar.gz archives...
Is that a feature?
When I "descend" into the archive in the file panel, I can see the file there perfectly fine (although, it's in a "subdirectory" of the .tgz file, not at the top level).
Also, looks like the tar.Z files (compressed with the "compress" utility rather than "gzip") are not supported at all... Can this please be considered as a feature request?
Thanks,
AL

For archives, which have been compressed, you need the Z unpacker plugin for Total Commander, available for downloading e.g. here: Z packer plugin (Unix archive format). The 64-bit version is an unofficial port by 'Christian Ghisler'.
MX Linux 21.3 64-bit xfce, Total Commander 10.52 64-bit

TC itself doesn't support automatic actions for nested archives in general:

It may be too slow, too complex or too risky in some cases.

Thanks!
Although tar.gz files are really extremely streamable and can be processed on the fly without having to unpack them and store onto the disk, just for the purposes of collecting and building the file tree (and -- just from reading that thread -- if a user ticked "search in archives" by themselves, why would they be "upset" that it took a little longer? it clearly was asked for!). But anyways, now I know that TC doesn't do that, and it's fine.

Never heard about zip bomb?
There are other similar cases: compressed image of empty unformatted HDD, broken archives deliberately packed to not use them, etc.

Hmmm...
And how that would be different from an attempt to "descend" into such a thing by just "entering" it (with the Enter key)?

Visually
Imagine "Search in separate process" (Shift+Alt+F7) filling %TEMP% directory (and system partition in background).
