    Honestly though if they just added “extract to {archivename}\” as a right click option it would cover more than 90% of my usage.

      Literally the reason why 7 zip is the first thing I install on a windows machine.

      All the linux file managers I use have that context menu built in, so nothing else to install 😅 except that I also sometimes use 7zip file manager via WINE because I like a GUI

      Have you used Windows recently? This option currently exists as a right-click option in Windows 11.

        I only see the “Extract All…” option which has been there for years and isn’t what I want. If it just proceeded with the extraction and didn’t pop up a window asking where to put it then we’d be in business, but as currently implemented it’s an additional interaction to do the same thing.
