#1503 7-Zip deletes temp files when external program closes
Lost my existing post looking for formatting help, so this will be brief.
When you open a file from archive by double-clicking, 7-Zip deletes as soon as executed program exits. This is a problem when the executed program exits immediately (for example feeds the path to an existing open instance), and the file can no longer be located.
Examples: Notepad++, Windows Photo Viewer, drag files into WinSCP (different case)
Solution? Delete temp files when navigating out of the relevant archive or closing 7-Zip, not as soon as program closes.
