Is it possible to get 7zip to only use a single window the same winrar does? Having to accept UAC every single time i open a file is very very annoying.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
If i want to open multiple files, i only have to accept the UAC prompt once with Winrar, since they all just change which file is opened in the Winrar window.
7zip i have to keep accepting UAC every time i open a file because it loads it in an entirely new window.
Id like to get 7zip to just keep using the same window thats open so i dont need to keep accept UAC for it.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
WinRAR has a "Reuse existing window" setting, which gives WinRAR the behaviour that Seipherwood is talking about.
7-Zip doesn't currently have this setting (since it doesn't have that functionality... yet)
Basically, 7zFM.exe would need to check the setting, if it is enabled, tell any existing 7zFM.exe process to open the archive. If it is disabled, using the existing behaviour to open the archive.
