How to compare zip files that have a different extension?

[Dave Tillman]

We have files that are actually zip files, but we have renamed them to a different extension, because our customers don't know (or care) what the format is. I'm looking for a way to tell BC3 that our extension name is actually a zip file, and should be treated as such. I don't see a way to do this in the "File formats" dialog. Is there a way to do it without renaming the files?

Yes, you can do this in the Tools menu -> Options dialog, Folder Views section, in the Archive Associations area. Scroll down the Archive Associations list to Zip, and add the new extensions to the list here. You will then need to restart BC3.
