opening and saving unzipped epub files in Sigil

In my other thread span span span

I talked about using brackets a cross platform text editor for web design for working with epub files it's really nice feature is that it opens a page in chrome where you can see exactly where something needs changing also the webdeveloper options in chrome are also pretty handy too. You can select an element in the epub see the rules affecting it alter the values and if you like it go to the css file line number and change it in the actual css file.

There is only one thing that makes life awkward epub or zip itself.

To work on the epub files outside of sigil you need to unzip the epub and to get it back into sigil you need to zip it up again.

The ability to import and export folders in Sigil would be very handy.
Admittedly it would allow for the ability to mess things up too. It would be pretty useful and avoid the tedium of zipping and unzipping.

For someone who knows how to write plugins it surely would be pretty easy to add this to Sigil?
