Imagine a tree, displaying the contant of a zip file, drag and drop files 
inside the archive, between archives and to and from Explorer and using 
only a part of the relative path in the zip file. This means constant 
renaming.

Please explain your point that the name field must be this size .

By the way, would it be possible to access the name field and extra field 
short before the adding and extacting ?
