> So basicly: > 1) Is it possible to open archives as virtual folders in gnome-vfs > programatically? yep, if you use an uri like file:///home/user/somefile.tar.gz#gzip:#tar:/ things should work (if you want to experiment with that, use the test-directory program which comes with gnome-vfs source - you need to use an absolute path with test-directory if you don't wat to get a segfault). Typing such an uri in Nautilus is supposed to work, but there are a few issues, the main one to be aware of is that you can't browse the root directory of the archive that way, so your uri needs to end with #gzip:#tar:/some/dir. > 2) How would such a thing be done, and how hard would itbe to extend it for > iso's etc.. (or are there already plugins for that?) To my knowledge, there is not a plugin for isos, though you can already mount isos using loopback devices under linux (but you need to be root to do that). It should be fairly easy to implement a gnome-vfs module to handle iso images if you need it, see the part about writing a gnome-vfs module in gnome-vfs docs (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules.html) In short, you only need to implement a set of helper functions to open, read, close a file, open, read, close a dir, get info about a file, ... > 3) Is it possible to do this in nautilus? If you write a gnome-vfs module which implements the appropriate functions (I don't remember which one exactly are needed :(, Nautilus will be able to automatically use your module to browse whatever you want.
