Find a nested file's siblings#

When the active file is inside an archive, the Container context card on the Overview tab shows where it sits. From the card you can jump to its siblings or back to the parent.

What the card shows#

The card head shows the sibling count.

• The first row is the parent container, for example minimal.zip.
• The card marks the active file with ← YOU ARE HERE next to its name.
• Sibling entries appear below, indented under the parent.
• Each row shows the entry's type and size.

For a file that is not inside an archive, the head reads standalone file and the card shows only the file's own row.

Switch to a sibling file#

Click any row in the card to switch the active file to that entry. The queue on the left scrolls to the new selection and opens any collapsed parents. The centre column re-renders for the new file.

This is the fastest way to compare a suspicious entry to its siblings without opening each one from the queue.

Nested archives#

If the parent is itself nested inside another archive, the card shows the chain by indentation. Click any ancestor to jump up the chain. The header at the top of the tab updates to the new active file.

What counts as a container#

ZIP, 7z, TAR, CAB, ISO, and MSI archives all populate Container context when you expand them into the queue. So do RFC 5322 emails with attachments, OOXML packages, and OLE compound files. The exact set of children depends on the format-specific parser. See the relevant format tab for what each parser surfaces.
