Yay, I did not recognized you fixed it, just checked, and it works well for me 
too.

I just looked into it, and got it working. Selecting the default open app, 
I made the file viewer default to look into GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_APPS directory for 
apps.

Further, I bound the double click on a file to the action intended to the 
tableViewDoubleAction:
And also connected the Document/View menu entry to the same method.

So I think this is fine now.

There are two things that I still have:
When Opening Zipper, then the "Untitled-1" window shows up, but its not useful 
at all.
It also shows up, when using the service "Zipper/Create Archive".
I haven't yet found a way to prevent this window to show up.

Also when the Service is used to create an archive, then when the tarball is 
created, 
it should maybe open the tarball in a Zipper window?
Also here haven't yet found a way how to do it.

cheers,
Sebastian
