Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Add some image files (.jpg/.png) to a compressed archive (.zip/.7z/.cbr) with 7-Zip file archiver
- Drag-and-drop your compressed archive onto the ImageGlass window
Expected behavior:
ImageGlass should load all images inside the archive as if it's a folder
Actual behavior:
ImageGlass can't open the archive because it's not supported
System info:
- ImageGlass version: 4.17.26
- OS version: Windows 10
Other info:
Some image viewers such as Honeyview supports compressed archives by default
