Re: No mix of files and dirs please.

Strigi partially solves this problem. You can do e.g.
jstreams://message.eml/data.zip/familytree.tar.gz/mother.jpg

What does it mean, partially? IOW what are the limits of that concept using Strigi? If done correctly we might finally fix bug 73821, which would be really cool.

Strigi reads files as a stream. This fits very well with kioslaves. On its own, Strigi can read embedded files from other files. To read files embedded in other files that are read over a network protocol like ftp is a bit more tricky. There would need to be a way to really nest kioslaves to make that possible.

I don't get it. I can do this stuff already without using Strigi on KDE 3? It sounds like nothing new at all. KIO slaves have rocked a long time, and being able to navigate tar's and other archives right from your trusted Konq is a very old feature. Works like a charm.

Yes and no. You can do some of what Strigi does in KDE 3, but it's slower than using Strigi, and you can't extract the same detail of information (the infrastructure is not there). For example, you can navigate a tarball in KDE 3, but you can't pull embedded thumbnails out of images when browsing within a tarball... Strigi can do that, and fast...
