I'm looking for a file manager that can browser archives as if they were regular folders(bzip and gzip archives).
I would prefer gtk as I do not have qt libraries installed on my machine.
thanks |

Open the file with any archive manager and it will show you the content?

| If you can stand a console app, "mc" navigates compressed packages as though they are folders. I just tested and could view image files, PDF, etc. that were embedded in a ZIP file. |
