How about support .zip files? #145

Open amitbha opened 2 years ago

I have lots of backup files with .zip format. How to recurse into them to find dups?

I think, You've to use the "--transform" option, that can run a batch-programm or shell-script that unzip (7-Zip) to open the archive, and send back the folders to process in the $OUT (or %out% in the Batch-Programm?) - no testet yet by myself. I'm a Windows7 user and just began to learn using "fclones" - and think we should begin to wrote a better, deep manual to solve problems like this.

Unfortunately, --transform is not going to universally work, because it assumes a 1:1 relationship between the input file and the output file. So it could only work with archives that contain one file.
