Managing zip file archives

Post by BearCDP »

Hello, I'm reading through the tutorials, and looking up how everything works in the API documentation, and I was curious about zip file archives. Once you load a .zip with addZipFileArchive() and have monkeyed with it, is it possible to unarchive the file to free up memory? Or will all the zip file archives you load be stuck in memory until the program exits?

Alright, no replies for a few days, how about I ask: would it be bad for me to get a pointer to the file system, then once I want to empty the file system use pointer_2_filesystem->drop(); ?
