    Hello,

    You can import zip file, for reference see the below code.

    action(ImportZipFile)
        {
            ApplicationArea = All;
            ToolTip = 'Import the images from Zip';
            
            trigger OnAction()
            var
                FileMgt: Codeunit "File Management";
                DataCompression: Codeunit "Data Compression";
                TempBlob: Codeunit "Temp Blob";
                EntryList: List of [Text];
                EntryListKey, ZipFileName, FileName, FileExtension : Text;
                ZipInStream, EntryInStream : InStream;
                EntryOutStream: OutStream;
                Length: Integer;
                SelectZIPFileMsg: Label 'Select the Zip File', Locked = true;
            begin
                if not UploadIntoStream(SelectZIPFileMsg, '', 'Zip Files|*.zip', ZipFileName, ZipInStream) then
                    Error('');
    
                DataCompression.OpenZipArchive(ZipInStream, false);
                DataCompression.GetEntryList(EntryList);
                foreach EntryListKey in EntryList do begin
                    FileName := CopyStr(FileMgt.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(EntryListKey), 1, MaxStrLen(FileName));
                    FileExtension := CopyStr(FileMgt.GetExtension(EntryListKey), 1, MaxStrLen(FileExtension));
    
                    TempBlob.CreateOutStream(EntryOutStream);
                    DataCompression.ExtractEntry(EntryListKey, EntryOutStream, Length);
                    TempBlob.CreateInStream(EntryInStream);
                    //Write your code for importing each file for eg.
                    Image.ImportStream(EntryInStream, FileName);
                end;
            end;
        }
