Update ZIPfile when files were modified

Maybe I am too stupid and BetterZip already has this feature but here's my idea:

When I doubleclick a file within a zip archive it is being decompressed to a temorary folder (Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/...) and then opened with the standard application. OK, but when I change this file and save it, BetterZip simply erases this temporary file without recognizing that is was changed so the new data gets lost.
Wouldn't it be useful to get a message like "Files from your archive have been modified, would you like to update the archive?" when you close BetterZip?

Vielleicht gibt es diese Funktion schon irgendwo aber hier mal ein Vorschlag:

Wenn ich in einem Archiv auf eine Datei doppelklicke, dann wird sie ja in ein temporäres Verzeichnis entpackt (Library/Caches/TemporaryItems/...) und mit der Standardanwendung gestartet. Ok, aber wenn ich nun etwas ändere und speichere, löscht BetterZip die temporären Dateien einfach ohne Rückfrage und meine Änderungen gehen verloren. Wäre es nicht superpraktisch, wenn BetterZip einfach beim Schließen kurz fragen würde "Es wurden Änderungen in ihrem Archiv festgestellt, möchten sie diese speichern?"?

Thanks/Danke, DesertFOX

You're not missing anything. BetterZip can't do that at the moment, but I plan to add this in the next major update as well.

Just been testing out BetterZip and the alternatives. Although I like the contextual menu stuff in another program, the interface and versatility of BetterZip easily make up for it.

That said, it does have this feature. If BetterZip can update files that are opened from an archive then saved I will buy it straight away!
