I can't add zip files to the fbreader library nor read them by clicking on them in the file manager. If I try to add a zip to the library within the program, the dialogue box just opens the zip and looks for something inside the zip; but it doesn't add the zip nor any of its contents to the library. Opening a zip file directly from the Reader file manager causes fbreader to open but defaults into the help page. Is this normal behaviour? I was testing the idea of reading a graphic novel as a zipped collection of jpgs. Problem is, fbreader doesn't see the jpgs either, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to be able to "read zip files" as advertised.

I'm running firmware 1.6 and as far as I know, the latest version of fbreader.
