If I used windows, I would totally do this…
Once I found 7zip, WinRAR was obsolete. Lately though I’ve just been using the built in extractor in Linux because it works just fine.
Or use 7zip like any sane person
But still buy winRAR for the meme
on windows I use peazip because I can right click context menu > extract to smart new folder - does 7zip do that? if so I’d switch back
Depending on what you mean with “smart”, when I used Windows 7zip also offered to extract into a new folder through a context menu
In this context (IIRC) smart means “if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file”.
Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.
I must be rich, I have 2 licenses.
