MakerVault supports over 25 file types commonly used by makers. Adding support for new file types requires no code changes throughout the app — it’s handled by a single extensible registry.

.zip | ZIP Archive | Built-in file browser |
ZIP files appear in the library like any other file. Clicking a ZIP opens a built-in browser showing a collapsible file tree of the archive’s contents — no extraction needed. Clicking a file inside the ZIP previews it inline: images, SVGs, text files, and fonts all render natively in the preview area above the file list.
In the search bar filter popup, file types are grouped by their software name (e.g., “LightBurn”) rather than by extension. This means selecting “LightBurn” shows both .lbrn and .lbrn2 files. You can also filter by category: Vector, Raster, G-code, 3D, Project, Document, Font, or Archive.
The Archives item in the left sidebar filters the library to show only ZIP files.
If your folders contain many font files that clutter your file list, you can toggle Hide Fonts in the filter popup to exclude them from view. Your fonts stay indexed and searchable — they’re just hidden from the main file list until you turn the filter off.
