you guys are still going? lol

for the record, i thought the file structure wasn't a big deal, not the conversation. the conversation is just funny lol

also i disagree with you - putting the contents of an archive into a folder is redundant because the archive a container itself already. it also theoretically makes extracting files loosely more annoying if they're already in a folder (although that is probably also solved by software at this point lol)

it really is just a preference, so find a way that works the best for you. that's why there are as many different programs and that's why they all have various configuration options - to give people options. i found a solution for me and haven't had to think about how my files are unzipping for years now lol

regardless of how you handle the archives, though, keep arguing, because its a fun read and im enjoying

> im just using windows built in "extract all".
that's the problem lol.

does it not have an 'extract to folder..' option?
its very much 'it works on my pc' but ive never had an issue with 7zip, so i dont know if its  your hardware, the files themselves, a bad version or just bad luck. winrar still exists, and peazip is the only other alternative i am aware of.

for future reference, idk what youre using, but winrar and 7zip both have a feature to remove redundant folders while extracting, so using "Extract to folder..." should always result in a consistent "folder -> files" structure, instead of "folder -> folder -> files" or "files loosely"

whatever kde plasma is using by default also reportedly does that? so if youre on loonix, it should be ok as well

if its not on by default (for some godforsaken reason), it shouldnt be too hard to find the config or something and just flip it over
should solve your issue for good

this is really not that big of a deal
