Comment (by humdinger):
I'm not sure that changing the behaviour depending on the filetype the
add-on is invoked on is a good idea. Maybe a user has a need to bundle a
few zips together, who knows...
Besides, double-clicking to expand seems to be much more straight forward.
I do agree, that Zip-O-Matic should be renamed. I know, I know... BeOS
nostalgia, nerddom, geekfactor... :)[[BR]]
Renaming to "Archive" is unambiguous and is additionally more general to
allow e.g. to add a small GUI in the future. It could offer an option to
choose what archiver to use (zip, rar, xz, bzip...), archive name and
maybe also where to save the resulting archive (maybe via d&d of an
icon?).
