file name extension configuration able

[foxundermoon]

there are many file ext name for zip such as .egg .apk ....

but now it just .zip ext context menu.

so can add file extensions config

"zipFileExplorer.zipFileExts" : [".zip",".egg",".apk"]

The file extensions are currently set in the contributes/languages section of the package.json

I'm not sure there is a dynamic way to register new extensions to a LanguageId (in this case, zip)

@sandy081 do you know a way we could do that within the extension code (i.e. registering new file extensions to the zip LanguageId at runtime) ?

@foxundermoon in the meanwhile, you can manually add .egg and .apk in your user settings, under files.associations

something like that should work:

{
	"files.associations": {
		"*.egg": "zip",
		"*.apk": "zip"
	}
}

You can always update the settings programatically.

[stef-levesque]

You mean update the Workspace Settings for files.associations at Extension activation-time ?

[sandy081]

Yes

Would be great to have this capability to be able to view .nupkg files which are just .zips

A settings config for custom ZIP-file extensions would indeed be awesome, especially considering that most Java-libraries are packaged as JAR-files.

Would be great to have this capability to be able to view and edit .gz files

{
	"files.associations": {
		"*.egg": "zip",
		"*.apk": "zip"
	}
}

I think this is enough, but it should be mentioned somewhere in the extension page.

Either that, or show the Zip menu entries on any file, and just give an error if the file was not a zip file.

adding this to the readme of the package would be very helpful
