Actually scoping won't be such a big problem, it very simular to MPD and just adds to the stack of locations to search.
But compressing multiple files in a single archive is a completely different thing from what I was (initially) suggesting in this thread. Although it might solve the issue Tim raised (allowing only an single new extension). But it wouldn't be a trivial thing to implement anymore though
I think I'm going to push support for any compressed files to LDCad 1.3 for now, have to figure out the best way to go first (compressed container and or single compressed files).
Although I'm actually already leaning towards supporting the full blown 'container' approach, would be very cool for things like datsville etc (LDCad, currently, Can't multithread load an mpd, so many ldr's in a zip would be better.).
