  Honestly though if they just added "extract to {archivename}" as a right click option it would cover more than 90% of my usage.

    I love KDE’s “extract here, autodetect folder” feature for compressed files

    Literally the reason why 7 zip is the first thing I install on a windows machine.

    All the linux file managers I use have that context menu built in, so nothing else to install 😅 except that I also sometimes use 7zip file manager via WINE because I like a GUI

    Have you used Windows recently? This option currently exists as a right-click option in Windows 11.

      I only see the “Extract All…” option which has been there for years and isn’t what I want. If it just proceeded with the extraction and didn’t pop up a window asking where to put it then we’d be in business, but as currently implemented it’s an additional interaction to do the same thing.

    Fun fact “nana” means 7 in Japanese.

  Which is an incredible effort, very few software have an interface more atrocious than 7zip.

  The UI is the main reason I actually paid for a WinRAR license.

    I don’t use the interface, that’s the thing. I just use the contextual menu - which is more than enough to operate it easily. If the windows version of it had the same, then I wouldn’t mind at all.
