Hi, it has been requested from time to time in the Emacs ML, so I gave it a try. With commit d338325c2b to the Emacs master repository, I've implemented file name handlers for archive files. Given you have a file /path/to/archive.tar, you can open this now via "C-x C-f /path/to/archive.tar/" in dired mode, seeing all contained files. Note the trailing slash. Opening "C-x C-f /path/to/archive.tar/file" opens a file in that archive. Since the implementation uses Tramp's archive method of tramp-gvfs.el, this works only on machines which run GVFS. Roughly spoken, on GNU/Linux machines. It doesn't work for tar archives only, but also for many other archive formats. And for compressed archives. And for archives located an a remote host. And for archives inside archives. Read (info "(tramp) Archive file names") for the details. As usual, feedback much appreciated! Best regards, Michael.
