Shortcut to open next folder / archive

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While browsing a lot of images in archives I realized that an option to go to 
next folder or archive file would be very timesaving and practical. I hacked 
together an Applescript that does the same, but it seems to me as too much of a 
hack.

Two levels of directory browsing really seems like excessive complexity.

Well I would agree to this, but the issue arrises because of the fact that 
there is no quick way to launch an archive file with Xee without registering 
Xee as the default application for all files of that suffix. (As always I want 
my archives to default to "The Unarchiver".)

What I do now is to drag the next archive to the Xee icon in the Dock.

Why not just have an option to autoload the next file when the last file in an 
archive is reached?
In that way the code would be the same as the code that finds the next image in 
a folder.

But I see that if archives are perceived as directories, then it could possibly 
seem illogical that some directories will continue with the next (file) and 
others not.

I'm a new user of Xee coming from irfanview. I'm trying to replicate the 
function of irfanview which let you browse directories once you reached the 
last file in the directory. I'd love to see what you've done with applescript 
to automate things. I'm still considering if I want to do something in python, 
plain applescript or applescript with Cocoa. If you could post your example 
somewhere I would appreciate it. Maybe pastebin or something similar?
