Hi, I would like to report three specific issues found in PeaZip 11.1.0 running on Windows 11:
Internal EXE files treated as raw files: When double-clicking an .exe file located inside a compressed archive (like .zip or .rar), PeaZip treats the executable as a generic data file instead of a runnable binary. It prompts the Windows "Open with..." dialog instead of temporarily extracting and launching the .exe automatically.
RAR password failure: Certain RAR archives with specific encryption (likely encrypted headers/filenames) return an "incorrect password" error in PeaZip, while the exact same password works perfectly in WinRAR.
Context menu redundancy: In Windows 11, extraction options ("Extract...", "Extract here", "Smart extract") are displayed on the context menu even when right-clicking non-compressed files (like images or documents), which is redundant.
1) By default it should prompt "Do you want to run this file" and auto extract everything needed to run it - behavior set in Options, Settings, Archive manager in "Extract" group.
2) Thank you for reporting, I'll try to replicate the issue
3) PeaZip can handle many container formats which are basically archives with cusom extensions, and also trying to parse arbitrary files as archives, this choice allows to conveniently handle them from the context menu (I understand it is not optimal if the user does not want to)
4) W11 file association is expecially buggy blocking specific file associations, I hope to find a workaround.
