Hello,
I was trying to create a folder in a jar(or zip) file before I could add some files under the folder. But after I stepped into the jar and pressed "F7", no dialog box appeared. Did I miss anything or would I need a plug-in to get it to work?
I tried the same on Midnight Commander and it worked as I expected.
thanks
richard

You need to create the folder outside of the archive, put files in it and then add (copy) the folder into the archive.
BTW if you can enter an archive you already use a plugin; presumably an out-of-the-box MultiArc.

Re: Create new folders in zip files
HaRT,
You tip works fine and I can copy an existing folder from one archive to another as well.
If F7 would work on archives as it does on file systems, it would be more convenience in the case that we want just a few files copied over from one folder in a source archive to another folder(may or may not use the same folder name or structure and may not exist already) . But as long as we have some workarounds, I am still happy.
Thanks a lot!
