Dragonfm questions/NNN query

Fri Apr 8 21:31:13 UTC 2022

Howdy,

sorry i forgott,
i changed the way to view the files as well (for tar and zip, others 
could just been added by copy and change mime to the given one):
section [mime]
# {0} = filepath
application/zip=als {0} | less
application/x-tar=als {0} | less

the mime type is shown in the folder list by default

cheers chrys
