1.9.1

Notes

Support for archive file has been added! This means that ImageView can now load images inside a zip (or others) like any other image file.

Adding this support was not easy, as I had to refactor a big chunk of the code and most notably completely abstract the concept of file from its simple string fullname representation to a better Entry interface that splits into two implementations: FileEntry and ArchiveEntry.

At the heart of the zip engine lies 7z.dll and its very lightweight .NET interface SevenZipExtractor. It's performing really, really well.
