Clicking "Open" for .zip files doesn't work.

When clicking on a .zip file from the net (for example: https://www.ohloh.net/p/filezilla/download?filename=FileZilla_3.3.2.1_win32.zip ), the download dialog shows up. If you click on the "Open" button, the file downloads as intended to the temporary_downloads folder; however, this file is never opened with Windows Explorer as it should. I have to go to the downloads panel, right-click the file, click "Open Folder" and then manually open the zip file from there. In the downloads panel, if I right-click the .zip file and select "Open with > Windows Explorer" the file also fails to open. This behavior does not happen when I select to "Open" other file types from the downloads dialog.

I'm using Opera 10.51 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Can anyone confirm this bug or tell me how to fix it?

Check the settings in Preferences, Downloads, MIME types, for zip files. For me it opens in my default archive program 7-Zip.

yes, If I click "Open with > 7 zip" it opens fine. So it seems like Opera is having some trouble passing the .zip file to windows explorer?

I have submitted a bug report; its number is: DSK-292756

I can confirm this bug on both Windows 7 64-bit and 32-bit. It also did not work back when I was on Vista 64-bit with Opera 10.10.
