I have a Zip containing other Zip files organized in folders. When i want to extract contained archive :
if i select All.ZIP\Folder 1\Test.zip When i call the unpack all "cm_UnpackFiles" the extracted file is the enclosing archive and not the selected one.
The behavior should be coherent with normal file system or not executable if the curent file is inside an archive !
extract archive inside archive

Do you claim that the behavior is not coherent by design ?MVV wrote:Well, cm_UnpackFiles inside archives extracts files from archive itself regardless of focused file type, it doesn't unpack focused file. You can only enter nested archive in order to use cm_UnpackFiles for unpacking it.
I would prefer to not have cm_UnpackFiles being enabled at all inside archive as the result is not what we could expect !

I now have to work with archives that contains hundreds of zip and did not noticed this weird behavior before ! But as all F3 F4 F5 F6 .. Keys work transparently or have warning, for me it is a bug that the result is not what should be expected !

cm_UnpackFiles has always unpacked the currently open archive when one was open.

What do you mean ?
If a behavior is very old, even if it is weird/inconsistent it should/will never be corrected/modified because no complaint came fast !
This is fine for me if i can find it documented in the help file. Preventing or warning is better but this is up to you !
