The listing
Opening an archive shows its name, the number of entries, a filter box, and a table of its contents:
sample-project.tar.gz 10 entries

|---|---|
| Path | The full path inside the archive. The folder part is dimmed so the file name stands out. |
| Size | The uncompressed size, in B, KB, MB or GB. |
| Modified | The modification time stored in the archive, in your local date format. |
- Sorted by path, so files in the same folder stay together.
- Folders are not listed as rows; their files are.
- Links are marked
(symlink), dimmed, and can't be opened. Other special entries are dimmed too.
Filter
The filter box has focus when the listing opens. Type to keep only the entries whose path contains the text, ignoring case. The count changes to, for example, 3 of 10 entries. Press Enter to open the first file that is still shown.
Staying up to date
If the archive file changes on disk, for example when a build writes a new one, the listing reloads.
