Given that someone has to archive his files:

people can be divided into 2 groups.
Some of them will just pack those files:

others will include top directory in the archive:

And then when I want to unpack their files to a single directory (or if it's a single file, just unpack it here) I have to check inside the archive to choose "Extract here" or "Extract to myFiles\" basing on approach chosen by packer.

Could you please add an extra option in the context menu which behaves like that:

  • if there is single item (file or directory) in an archive -> like "Extract here",
  • if there are multiple items (files and/or directories) in an archive -> like "Extract to *\"

    7-Zip does it, if the directory name in archive is identical to name of archive.
    Just call Extract to folder_name\\ option.
    And 7-Zip removes additional path part.

    Wow, that almost covers all I wanted (because not everyone names archive identically as root directory inside). Thank you, I didn't know.
