#39 Copy files from within archives (Ctrl+C Ctrl+V)

First of all, I've switched to PeaZip a while ago and I think it's an excellent archive manager.

One thing that has been bothering me is the ability to copy specific files from within archives without extracting the whole archive. I know you can preview and open with right click or ctrl + alt + o.

But what if you implement a ctrl + c (Copy) on selected files and when ctrl + v is clicked on a destination folder, it simply extracts those files there.

If that would conflict with Windows own shortcut mapping, then another shortcut would be fine.

I really find it hindering to have to go through the extraction process to get a couple of files from within an archive.

If I understand correctly your request, you would like a new feature to be able to use ctrl+c to select objects from an archive, and then extract them to the destination specified during ctrl+v event.
Currently this type of extraction procedure is not implemented, but I'll consider about implementing it in future.

Current ways to extract single objects from the archive, without passing trough the confirmation dialog:
- select and drop them outside to your system
- Ctrl+O to extract (and open) them, or Ctrl+Alt+O for preview in a temp path
Alternative passing through the confirmation dialog:
- Ctrl+S or rightclick, extract, extract selected objects from application's context menu

Yes, that's exactly what I meant. It's very useful and practical, at least for me.

As for the mentioned ways, yes I know about them but they are not exactly the same thing.

And sorry for not paying attention that this is a feature request not a defect when submitting the issue.

CTRL+C - +1 - that would be great!

moreover, the "copy" command could be even within the right mouse menu, as users as used to this "feature" from win common folders and files.

Tahnk you

It will be great if Drag and Drop a selection of files works too. (Harder to develop ;-))

PeaZip now supports copy/paste extraction from archives, within PeaZip file manager - e.g. open the archive in PeaZip, select items of interest, press Ctrl+C, navigate to the target output folder and press Ctrl+V.
So far it lacks integration with Windows and Linux systems' clipboard.
