As yours remarks, I've just renamed any reference to a storage disk by 
the "media" word.
The above sentence is became "Use media volume label as disk name (only 
when disk name is empty)".

I think that zlib only works with GZIP archives not ZIP archives. :-(

I don't like this solution for two reasons :
- the user must install unzip to get the feature
- the execution of an external program is expensive in execution time 
and memory...

I would like to find a simple function to list all sub files and their 
informations of a ZIP archive. Or I would like to find a library which 
do it, which is licensed under the GPL and which runs under GNU/Linux, 
MS Windows, BSD, OS X,...
