Description

So you could for example open up an archive modify the contents and then write it back again. Would be cool if this still preserves recursive/original files structures/formats implicitly discovered from the files.

Needs adding a File Extension check to each FileEntry and see if its an archive that needs to be created etc.

Research direction

Start by locating RecursiveExtractor and its FileEntry handling. Clarify how archive file extensions, recursive structures, and original formats should be represented before planning the save flow. Done means modified archive contents can be written back while preserving the discovered recursive structure and formats.
