Description of problem: There are too many document formats which are actually just a zipfile containing bundle of XML (or other) files with some metadata included. OpenDocument format, OOXML, Java JAR file are just most famous examples of this trend. All these files although they are in fact zipfiles have they own MIME types and file(1) reports something else than a "Zip archive". And that's a good idea. However, mc could be a very good tool for diving inside these archives. Normally, I was able to investigate the content of the document by renaming it to *.zip file and then opening it via mc. Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore. After some investigation it seems that /etc/mc/mc.ext contains only the rule: # zip type/i/^zip\ archive Open=%cd %p/uzip:// View=%view{ascii} /usr/libexec/mc/ext.d/archive.sh view zip whereas the upstream contains also # zip shell/i/.zip Open=%cd %p/uzip:// View=%view{ascii} /usr/libexec/mc/ext.d/archive.sh view zip Unfortunately, this rule is missing from the RHEL package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mc-4.8.7-8.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.rename *.odt file to *.odt.zip 2.press ENTER on this file in mc 3. Actual results: nothing happens Expected results: the file should open as a directory and should be browseable.
