Hi all.

I was wondering whether it’s possible to get FME to read files inside a ZIP, that doesn’t use the ZIP extension, but is a zip file ?

Many software packages utilize ZIP, including FME itself, to store groups of files.

I’m trying to read QGIS project files, and the QGZ extension is a zip file containing QGS files. But FME rejects all QGZ notation when used in place of zip.

C:/my/path/my.zip/**/*.qgs works fine, but

C:/my/path/my.qgz/**/*.qgs does not.

Is there a tweak to accomplish that ?

Cheers
