Hi,

the reason seems to be https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4128.
And related to the changed `file` options.

I was able to reproduce the behavior described by wwp.

- create a ZIP
  $ zip image.zip mc.gif

- get info with `file` before #4128
  $ file info.zip
  image.zip: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract

- get info with `file` since #4128
  $ file -z info.zip
  image.zip: GIF image data, version 89a, 32 x 32 (Zip archive data,
  at least v1.0 to extract)

When you press enter on that file it gets extracted and the file
browser is opened.
When you press F3 on that file you get the error as wwp wrote.

>> F3 doesn't work either:
>>   identify: no decode delegate for this image format `ZIP' @
>> error/constitute.c/ReadImage/564.

versions of used tools
    mc    4.8.26
    file  5.39
    zip   Zip 3.0 (July 5th 2008), by Info-ZIP

cheers
Frank
