[Fwd: Re: #tar chaining]

(I hope the moderator will trash the mail I sent with screenshots
without paying attention...)

Forwarding a mail from Shahms which helped me to get things to work, the
screenshots were showing nautilus windows whose uris were like:
file:///path/to/file.zip#zip:/somepath
and
file:///path/to/file.tar#tar:/somepath

I managed to get test-directory to work with similar uris :) (it didn't
work before because my test archives didn't contain a directory)

Hope that helps,

Christophe

Well, here's a screenshot I just took using RedHat 8.0 viewing a zip
file of a PHP project I'm working on.  The zipfile was made with 
'zip mabel.zip -r mabel'

That URL, btw, only works if you specify something inside the directory,
you can't view the toplevel directory of the zip file.  Also, I did some
more poking around and remembered that it's the gzip: method that
doesn't work, tar works fine (see second screenshot) you just can't see
the toplevel directory.
