Edit GZ files

See and search everything inside, preview it, open a file in its own editor and apply the changes back, add, rename, move and delete, extract, check for damage, and clear out .DS_Store and __MACOSX. Untouched files are copied exactly; save as ZIP, 7z, .tar.gz, .tar.xz or .tar. A .tar.gz opens as the archive inside it; any other .gz shows the one file it holds, by its stored name.
