Problem with "extraction" dialog

[Simone]

I just tried the extraction from a zip- archive. It got a long path so I tried to expand the extraction pallet. A wonder: It worked.

But the scrollbar did not changed its size nor the path.

So what's wrong with it? Another case of misconfiguration above the authors skills?


For this topic I would like to see a background button, because the extraction operation usually needs a while.

Hello, Simone.

Problem with "extraction" dialog

Please note that the term used by T.C. is "unpack", not "extraction". Using the T.C. term might ease communication.

I just tried the extraction from a zip- archive. It got a long path so I tried to expand the extraction pallet. A wonder: It worked.

What exactly did you do? Mark a ZIP-file and press Alt-F9? Or enter the ZIP-Archive, select one or more files/folders and press F5?
I admit that I do not understand what the second sentence is supposed to tell us.
Neither the "Unpack Files" dialogue box (having used F5), nor the "Unpack Files" dialogue box (having used Alt-F9) are resizeable.
Maybe it would help if you gave us the exact steps which you followed and posted a screenshot, too.

But the scrollbar did not changed its size nor the path.

I admit I fail to understand about which scrollbar you might be talking.
No matter whether I use the Alt-F9 apporach on a ZIP- file or the F5 approach from within the ZIP-file, I do not get a dialogue box which displays any kind of scrollbar.
Again a screenshot might be helpful.

For this topic I would like to see a background button, because the extraction operation usually needs a while.

Once the unpacking process has started T.C. will display a dialogue box which illustrates the progress of the operation.
This dialogue box has got 3 buttons, from left to right: Pause - Cancel - Background.
Press the Background button in order to send the unpacking process to the background.

Regards,
Karl

Another case of misconfiguration above the authors skills?

I do not think that speculating on the author's skills will help find a solution. - Next time, simply remove such personal attacks from your post before pressing the "Send" button. They reveal details about you as a person, but do not hold any fact about Christian's skills.

Unfortunately I don't understand either what you mean.
What scrollbar?
