OK, here is a reason I need to inspect a pak: I work in AEC and was given an unreal 4 file that lets me walk through the site. I’d like to map some of the textures for the context buildings in Rhino 6. The team member who generated this file is located in France, I am in Japan. So there a time zone issue that will delay my work if I go to him to procure the original assets. Also, it is the end of July, and anyone who has worked with European team members knows that this is vacation season, and it just so happens that this office is closed for the next few weeks. Oh yeah, we are the project lead, so contractually we have access to the source material. So the question remains: can a .pak file be inspected? Save the moralizing ■■■■■■■■/pithy remarks about file management and how your workflow has never once resulted in data loss issues among complex international teams.
