It would be great to have for ZIP files a Reader similar to the "Directory and file pathnames" one, so you could see the contents of a ZIP file without opening it. For doing so now I had to use the Python zipfile library.

Feels like we should be able to accept a .zip file in the PATH reader and in that case it would return the names and paths within the zip.

The Path reader almost does it, if you override the folder path as the zip file, except that it unzips it to the temp file and then returns those files. Still useful though.
I wholeheartedly support the suggestion.
FYI, you can point Directory and file pathnames at a zip using the FeatureReader (version 2016.0) but the date stamps are not returned correctly.
