[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Just the other day I hit
     v runs the command dired-view-file (found in dired-mode-map)
upon the attached street_name_groups.kmz file.

[street_name_groups.kmz (application/vnd.google-earth.kmz, attachment)]

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

And I exclaimed (not out loud, but to myself, (under my breath)):
"Impossible. How could two files have the same name?"

M    Mode     Size       Date&time         Filename

Ah, they don't.
$ lsar street_name_groups.kmz
street_name_groups.kmz: Zip
doc.kml
layers/
layers/安順_SELECT.kml
layers/崇德_SELECT.kml

emacs 30.1.

It turned out this was easy to add, so I've now done so on the master
branch.  This problem will therefore be solved in Emacs 31.

I'm closing the bug.
