I like it. :) I also like that it can be used as a file viewer for image files.

Interesting.. When I've used Synchronet's built-in archiving support, I'd seen it fail a couple times, but not very often. Have you reported those issues to Digital Man? It might be useful to understand why it might be failing if it's happening relatively often. It might be something related to the archive library Synchronet uses though (so DM might not be able to do much about it).
