Is there a way to update author information on compressed files (like Material presets)?

I can open uncompressed files in Notepad, buuut...

    Uncompress it first with 7zip. Add ".txt" to the file that is created. Then you can read and edit it, then save it back as whatever file type it is supposed to be.

    The problem is how do I then recompress it after? Is it in zip format?

    You could script it - open as a GZip file, read using the DSON interpreter, chnage the setting, convert back to a string with the DSON converter, save. You could also uncompress, edit, and recompress with the Batch Cinvert pane in DS.

    Batch Convert! Thank you yet again again, Richard.
