Why not create the archive at the same time?
Authored by: stevebr on Jul 27, '06 08:44:45AM

To create the archive in the same workflow, insert the Finder action "Create Archive" between your #1 and #2 steps.

Tip: Open up its options and tick show action when run, enabling "Save As" and "Where" for control over the archive name and folder.

Or have two workflows: one as posted in the original hint and another "Archive and Test" as described here.

This should be useful if it is possible to replace the contextual command (not burried in the second level). Don't know how to to this.

Since the main trick of the hint is to use unzip -tq, you could easily do this with OnMyCommand as a "root level" context menu option (i.e. not burried in a second level). You could also kick it off with your favorite "launch whatever" app (Butler, iKey, LaunchBar, etc.), bypassing context menus altogether.
