Ability to open files within archives - feature request

[LaUnica]

We keep all our source files within .zip archive files which are stored in Team Foundation Server.

If I try to open a file - I can navigate through the .zip folder to select the object I want to open, but then get the error message "Cannot open file "xxxx.pkg". The system cannot find the file specified"

Can you add support to handle opening and saving files that are contained within archive files?

Opening should not be a problem, saving depends on the zip program you are using. It needs to pick up the changed file that was just extracted and update the zip archive.

You mention that opening a file fails. Can you check if the file was extracted to this location? Does the zip program have any preferences for temporarily extracted files when launching an external application (such as PL/SQL Developer)?

I am just using the built-in zip file functionality of windows 7 64-bit enterprise to access zip files.

Is there a third party tool that will allow the integration I want with PL/SQL Developer?

WinZip should work fine.
