For those of us on Ubuntu (or related) I present: LÖVE Mounter!
It is a small application that mounts a .love in a temporary directory, allowing you to make changes to .loves downloaded from the forums, especially useful for the S&D forum.
Requires:
Python
GTK+
PyGtk
Gnome, for gnome-open, although you can change that bit if you want.
fuse-zip
None of them more than an apt-get away.
The download here includes an example .desktop file, that can make it a bit easier to use. If you want that you need to do the following:
Change the "Exec" parameter to the path where you placed mounter.py.
Copy/move "LÖVE Mounter.desktop" to /usr/share/applications.
Rightclick a .love, select "Open with Other Application".

Unless WinRAR can mount zip-files, no. WinRAR for Ubuntu, that would be File Roller.
LÖVE Mounter mounts zip-files, which means you can access whatever is in it as if they are in some folder, so you don't have to do the whole download->unpack->select location->edit->compress files->rename to .love->upload sequence manually. Instead, you can do download->mount->edit->unmount->upload.

You can edit files inside WinRAR without explicitly extracting it. Just double click a text file inside an archive, it opens up a text-editor, edit it, and save it. The archive is now modified.

Oh, in that case: it is a bit like WinRAR for Ubuntu.

Yeah, WinRAR makes you confirm overwriting files when you edit them from directly inside the .zip/.love. Does anyone know a way to change that behavior, actually? I find it to be quite annoying.
