[FEATURE] Add support for reading presets from ZIP files #118
Description
Is Your Enhancement Related to a Problem?
On Windows, path length limits can lead to issues installing/extracting the "Cream of the Crop" preset pack, as some preset files have really long names. This mostly occurs if the install path is already deeply nested, e.g. in a user's home directory. It also prevents WIX from being able to create an MSI installer, as the path limit there is even less (260 for the full source or destination file path and file name).
Your Suggested Enhancement
Add support for opening and parsing ZIP files in the configured present path (either inside a configured directory or as a single file name) and running presets directly from within the ZIP file without unpacking.
Since the application already uses POCO, which has a ZIP implementation, this should be relatively easy to accomplish. It may require changes to libprojectM's playlist library though, as there's currently no way of notifying the application of preset switches if the playlist library is in-between. A new callback should be added so the application can handle the switch itself, just getting the playlist path/filename from the playlist library. For example, files in a ZIP could be prefixed with zip:// to distinguish them from physical files and thus making the application handle them differently.
Alternative Solutions
Edit all presets in the default pack and reduce their file name lengths to more sensible limits. Lots of work and not great in determining duplicates.
