Absolutely! The viewer features intelligent recursive parsing. Clicking on an inner .zip, .tar, or .7z sub-archive automatically expands its contents without disk extraction.

Use the real-time search bar above the file explorer. Type keywords, filenames, or extensions (e.g., .docx, invoice, .png) to filter items in milliseconds.
