Status: Unconfirmed Owner: ---- Labels: Type-Bug Pri-2 OS-All Area-Misc New issue 18509 by kartik.vad: Automatically decompress and delete zip files on download http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18509
This is a feature request for Chrome to handle zip files like Safari does -- download the file, decompress it, and then delete the zip file, leaving the contents of the zip file in the downloads directory. If this is not acceptable by default, maybe it can be configurable, but most of the time, the zip file is just a container and you don't want to do anything but uncompress it. Put another way, we often need zip files to work around the limitation of http that restricts you to downloading a single file at once. So hide that from the user. A further change is not just to put the content of the zip file in the downloads directory but to act on it as if that file was downloaded without being embedded in a zip container. We need to decide what to do if the zip file contains many files. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
