[face=courier]Hit Alt+F6 on any archive. Change unpacking path to %TEMP%. Commander will create subdir "%TEMP%\" in the directory with archive and unpack it there - Christian suppose it's right. Well, what do you think? Should this dialog supports environment variable in general?[/face]

Environment variables should be interpreted everywhere in TC, not only in dialogs. It makes no sense at all to interpret %whatever% as a name for a directory or a file.

Add to that, that interpreting environment variables is very easy. Just a single API call: ExpandEnvironmentStrings()
