Hi Mark, I would just like one that would unzip the file, inspect the files contained within, and then filter those (if possible) based on their mime type, then add to index. I guess it does get a bit complicated though. If an index entry points to the Item that contains the .zip file and the .zip file contains multiple files, how is the user going to know which file they got a hit/hits on? But don't we have this same issue anyway with an Item that contains multiple files since when we do a search, we get a list of Items - not a list of documents??
I suppose another possibility is the filter could unzip the file, then add all the files contained within to the Item, then add all to index. I'm interested in what others say as well.

[was Re: Media filter for .zip files] People ask about filtering .zip files from time to time. Given that a .zip archive can contain an arbitrary number of files in an arbitrary hierarchial directory structure, of arbitrary types, with arbitrary relationships among them (including none whatever), with possibly no file distinguished in any obvious way, I'm curious: what do you think a .zip filter would do? -- Mark H.
