"background"-button for unpack
Looks like only unzip-process have "background" button in dialog window. Why this button not exist in other unpack-windows? unrar, for example.

An author has already explained it few times: he can be sure that only his unpacking method is thread-safe. So in the case something goes wrong with unpacking, TC will still work without problems. You can do a lot of things while archiving without fear
In the case of other plugins he cannot be sure they are safe enough. So it might be better to forbid doing anything until the end of packing procedure. In the case of error you loose archive only.
At least that is how I understand it
PS. Search for "upack bacground" phrase. It's been discussed a lot.

Yeah... I understand that, fenix.
Well, I don't care so much about other things like TC crashes or anything else. I would like to have the option to run unpacking in background(wich I can't in this version of TC).
Ok, I see that Mr.Ghisler can't trust all the plug-ins there is, therefore he can't guaranty the functionality of TC, BUT I see the solution, simple one...
Just add a line in options that tells you if you want "background" or not and it will be on your own risk.
Then anybody can choose whatever they want to and Mr.Ghisler will not be responsible for it.
Nobody will ask a thing about it!

aight, MVV, I know that BUT I want to use TC!
sure I can use external progs and maybe even explorer but do I want it? no!
should I stop complaining? I'm NOT complaining, I just said what I want and this function used to be there in TC, I liked it and I would like to have it back.
I even had a suggestion on how to do it. So, everybody will be happy.
Merry Christmas!
