VOXELFORMAT: change the interface for the Format class to use Archives and not Streams #460

Closed mgerhardy closed 1 month ago

mgerhardy commented 1 month ago

For multi file based formats it would be better to use an io::Archive here to being able to directly create new write streams in the archive and not write any files. Currently a lot of cases like io::filesystem()->open(extFilename, io::FileMode::SysWrite) exists in the Format implementations.

to name a few

there are other formats that out sourced their screenshot or metadata or anything like that.

See e.g. VMaxFormat::loadGroupsPalette - locations like these could benefit, too
