BrowserFS → ZenFS

[dr-vortex]

Hey @zardoy, I've been going through the dependents of browserfs and found this repository.

As you already know, browserfs is deprecated and I am working on ZenFS.

Would you be interested in updating migrating to ZenFS?

I was already experimenting with ZenFS in a separate project since I was running some issues: eg IOS crashing the page when trying to load big files (~400 MB zips). Also need to update internal patching so I can track all read / write operations, redirect or disable them as needed.

Would you be interested in updating and migrating to ZenFS?

Yes, of course!

I plan on adding some event system to the ZenFS internals as part of the FS watch features, though it wouldn't allow for changing the operations.

If you want to change operations it may be better to write a class that extends ZipFS and then intercept the operations using that.

Thanks, will try it, though I also plan to use remote HTTP and WebAccess backends (already using the last one for writing files back to the user's selected folder).
Currently, I'm just overwriting FS methods so it was easy to patch for me the internals...

Sorry, the suggestion to migrate to newer versions is great, but I've just realized I'll not have any time to work on it :(
(just because everything works fine with the old version), but I'm definitely looking into migration for smaller codebase
