Bundle in 7zip or similar library, extract the common archive formats on install or before install. Exporting a game with all attached metadata and all game files into a .zip archive also makes sense for archiving and sharing.

This issue has been talked about before but we didn't have an issue for it!

archive formats to support: zip, rar, 7z, SPLIT are the higher prio formats and extensions. Unsure if tar support is needed or not. have not seen it out in the wild for this type of content.

The GUI is already built, Need to add extraction support. Recommend using 7zip directly instead of checking if the user has it. We can also scrap the gui and pull it into the bulk importer. This could make the whole process easier.
