There are plugins to read metadata from archive files as well. They look for well known ebook types inside the archive and read the metadata from them. If that's not working, please file a bug report, witha test case and I'll take a look.

Yes, it does - If I put a (non-DRMed) Mobipocket file into a zip archive and import it, it imports as a PRC format file, and can be viewed in the viewer, but no metadata has been read for it.

Should I raise an enhancement request for this? Of can you think of a work-around?
