The snapshot directories list defines where unpacked snapshots are searched.
Zip files with snapshots inside are not shown in the dialog's front list, so their directories are not added.
I'm afraid that if we include the zipped files into the scan list, this will increase the overhead. In particular, we'd have to open each zip file found in the directory list and start unpacking, in order to understand whether it contains snapshots.

We'll try if we can do so with reasonable overhead.
If the overhead is significant, there can be a check box "Scan inside ZIPs", off by default.
Although I can't promise this will get high priority. I think opening of zipped snapshot already works good enough, and efforts spent in further polishing of this feature wouldn't give significant effect for the majority of users.

Re: Opening zipped snapshots
[Update]
Open file dialog will show and allow to open .zip and .gz snapshots in the next version. This functionality will be available in the very first EAP build.
