Cool. Thanks for checking it out. :)

It does this, but in the opposite order. DSR will use the buit-in archive handling only as a last resort if the configured command line fails, or if there is no command line format configured for a given archive type.

(the logic for this is within the "unarchiveFile" function)

I find I get too many errors trying to extract anything from standard .ZIP files using the built-in archive functionality. Sometimes it works, but often it fails for some reason like "unsupported compression method" or something similar. I would normally assume it's how I'm how I'm trying to use it, but the usage seems straightforward and doesn't seem to leave a lot of room for error.
