Request to extract compressed TAR files (tar.gz, tar.bz etc) in a single step.
Currently PeaZip extracts the TAR archive, then it is possible to extract the files within the TAR itself.

Due to the amount of open-source software I use and that most are distributed as tarballs, I'd also like to see this option. I come to the tracker to specifically request this functionality, but I see it's been here for a year. Please consider upping the Priority.

Having such an option is a must!

I cannot even find a way to do a "one-step" operation to extract archived and compressed files from the command line ("peazip -ext2here", "-ext2full" all need from second run).

+1 for fixing/supporting this

It seems strange this hasn't been fixed 4 years since it was made an "issue".

Upvoted. Seriously, this should be the default behavior...

Update: in version 7 browsing a compressed TAR file automatically opens the content of the TAR archive.

The option is now available in 9.0.0 release, enabled by default.
Compressed tar archives now are, by default, uncompressed and unpacked in a single atomic operation.
From the Console tab, the steps involved are shown, and can be saved / edited separately, in full details.

It is also available a similar option (default off) for archive conversion, so compressed tar files can be optionally uncompressed AND unpacked before being converted to the chosen format.
