I do not want my module to conflict with others. @almir

I think most people tuck lots of images in archives, being capable quicklooking just hitting space bar is a bless! I came from the PC universe and still remember Picaview in the early days of win98 that just did that. The original implementation of Quickcomic (0.1) even generates a preview icon in the Finder, amazing! Well, just to enter the discussion: Why *not* generate a preview of image files in zips?

This is one of those dream pieces of software I know I won't be able to live without. Thanks! I would love to see this plugin actively developed and add support for CBR files.
