Imagine having two Explorer-windows open.
You right-click on an archive and keep the mousebutton pressed.
You drag the file to the other window, release the mousebutton, and the context-menu opens.
Other extraction-programs are offering their options in this context menu, like "Extract here", "Extract to folder here" etc.
In Windows, this is handled with "DragDropHandlers" in these registry-keys:
HKCR*\shellex\DragDropHandlers\
HKCR\Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\
HKCR\Drive\shellex\DragDropHandlers\
HKCR\Folder\ShellEx\DragDropHandlers\
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes*\shellex\DragDropHandlers\
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Directory\shellex\DragDropHandlers\
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Drive\shellex\DragDropHandlers\
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\ShellEx\DragDropHandlers\
I look forward to this feature! Maybe you can re-use the code for it from another open source project?
