  • I don’t count a decades-old cumbersome wizard-style interface with countless steps to go through just to unpack a compressed file to be even remotely acceptable in 2026. Dolphin and Nautilus handle compressed files entirely transparently and much faster than Explorer does, and once you’re used to that, going back to ’90s style compressed file management almost feels insulting.

    My dad has trouble differentiating between webapp and software. You think handling a archive as a directory is a smart idea there? Dialogue or right-click menu is fine, which 7-zip adds. Thing is a file, should be handled as a file (launches something).

    Let’s say, it should be customizable.

    And i think explorer does transparently open zip since a few years? Wasn’t that a big feature in 10 already? Or was that only a tweaker tools fault?
