Windows 11 adds native support for RAR, 7-Zip, Tar and other archive formats thanks to open-source library::undefined
I wonder how long before I can send someone a .7z file without “hurr durr I can’t open this”.
Like, OpenDocument support exists in Office 2003 and I still encounter those who can’t open a .odt file.

Still gonna use 7zip, the default Windows packing/unpacking interface is atrocious.

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

Ditto.

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

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.
