| Which is odd. Windows was able to browse ZIPs like normal folders since... 98? XP? Can't remember now. IMHO KDE delegates too much core functionality to apps. On macOS, I can press "space" while having a file selected and I get an instant preview. This sort of thing must not be delegated. |

| ▲ | const_cast 3 days ago | parent [-] | | Is this true? I was under the impression windows wasn't able to decompress zip files natively till very recently, like windows 11. I could be remembering wrong. | | |
| ▲ | IshKebab 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Yeah it's been supported since at least Windows 7. I think XP sounds about right. |

| At the very least it does add context menu entries for compression to files, apart from "open with" obviously. That might already the reason right there. |
| |
| ▲ | IshKebab 3 days ago | parent [-] | | So I can't install an app that adds context menu entries? I can do that on Windows. | | |
| ▲ | efreak 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | That likely depends on the desktop environment. I have packages installed on my steam deck that add context menu entries, so clearly it's not impossible (my system still remains read-only, though I've been thinking about using an overlay like rwfus to get some new native packages, due to annoyance of self-management of self-built and downloaded ~/.local stuff) | |
| ▲ | bmicraft 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Yeah obviously. Windows let's everybody and their dog write into the registry. Which goes completely against the kind of
immutable and sandboxed system that KDE Linux intends to be. |
