7-Zip

I've used 7-Zip for years, works fine for my uses, but one glitch that I
haven't found a setting to correct.

To simply archive, there are 2 choices in the context menu- Add to Archive,
and Add to (folder name) Zip. Both actions create a double folder, the
archive name folder, and in it a identical subfolder with the actual folder
contents. I want to omit the double folder.

Have the other 7-Zip users here been able to fix this issue?


( I'm using 7-Zip version 4.42 on this machine. )
You can configure 7-Zip's context-menu. There is an option
to 'Extract Here' that you probably want to try for the archives
that give you folder-within-folder when you extract. (Note that
extracting archives that don't, will then place items in the same
folder and they will thus become mixed with other files and
folders you have there.)

Start the '7-Zip File Manager' [7zFM.exe]
(Menu) Tools : Options... :
(Tab) Plugins :
(Button) Options... :
(Tab) System :
(Field) Context menu items:

[V] Check the items you plan to use.


BTW, although there are ways to do it in 7-Zip, for multiple unzip, an
older version of Extract Now (ExtractNow 4.4.09-Moinvaziri) works very well
in W98. And to multiple archive, Simplyzip 1.1b60.1-Paehl works well.
