✅ Importing from Archives in Version 3.40.20 (Beta)

Starting with version 3.40.20, Project Manager supports importing models directly from archive files. This is a beta feature that allows you to browse archive contents as if they were regular folders.

🔍 Supported formats:

Tested on Windows 11 with .zip archives
Should also work with .7z and .rar archives
Functionality is based on the Windows Shell API — make sure your version of Windows supports archive integration in File Explorer
📦 How it works:

You can browse archives just like normal folders inside the TreeView or ListView
To import a model, simply drag and drop the file into the viewport
Files are temporarily extracted to a system cache folder and automatically deleted after import
⚠️ Important limitations:

Since files are handled via temporary extraction, you cannot use them as XRef or Proxy objects
To work with files fully (e.g. for linking or persistent use), you should manually extract the archive
📁 New context menu option:

A new “Extract” menu item is available in both TreeView and ListView to extract entire folders or selected files for regular use
