    zLib - archives

    perhaps it could be possible to put needed resources for a script (as media\, fonts\ etc.) into a *.zip-file and unzip the needed files during runtime directly to memory.
    (in Purebasic users can do nearly that).

    Like
    Uses "zLib"
    
    #Include Archive "media.zip" ' (located obviously to app_scriptpath)
    
    String myBMPData = zLib_Load( { ["media.zip",] "greenButton.bmp" | "media\greenButton.bmp" } )
    
    ...?


    later include the zip-archive to
    #Bundle Archive "media.zip" ...

    I think there are missing some Forum-sections as beta-testing and support

    Thanks, great idea.

    I've developed a new zLib function able to extract a file from a ZIP file and return it into a string buffer:
    string sBuffer = ZLib_ExtractToString(ZIPFileName, FileNameToExtract)
    
    Will be present in next release.

    Ciao
