It works. Thanks ;-)

Okay, so I'll be waiting for new build of Multi Commander with that workaround, and we'll see when they fix it in 7-Zip itself. Thanks

I also asked about this on 7-Zip bug tracker. I came to conclusion that deleting temporary files at exit (as WinRar does) instead of immediately would help in this situation.

Perhaps you can suggest some another solution/improvements there, if you know how to do it correctly/better?

See https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/bugs/2210/

I see. Isn't there any "source" in the dropped data that would let you identify that it comes from 7-Zip, so you could use this workaround automatically in that case?

Thanks for info. Can I enable that workaround somewhere in current version?

I understand that 7Zip might use problematic unpacking mechanism, but it is widely used software and obviously it's not going to be changed on the 7-zip side (as it works this way for all the years), so I think Multi Commander should handle it somehow, because other file managers are handling it correctly so as a result Multi Commander's behavior is broken. Worst is that user might not know that the operation wasn't really successful - I was so confused when I realized that the files weren't extracted correctly and some files were missing. I wouldn't expect that behavior. And seeing that it's this way for 6 years without any fix or workaround is really bad.

Your recommendation to use built in 7-zip support isn't comfortable at all for me. I usually download some archives via internet browser, then open them in own 7-zip window, navigate in file manager to specific folder, and then drag&drop them there. Having to search for the downloaded archives first takes 2x more time than drag&drop. But as I said, main problem is that it is broken in Multi Commander in a way that it looks like it's working, but in reality you get lost/corrupted files.

Can you please make it work somehow, even though it won't be ideal? For example make all these drag&drop operations blocking - it's much better to wait than to get corrupted/missing files.

Hello, I'm facing the bug where when I try to extract files from 7-Zip by dragging files from it's window into Multi Commander, some or all files are not extracted correctly (or at all).

I saw this thread: http://forum.multicommander.com/forum/index.php/topic,757.msg2170.html#msg2170

It has been 6 years. Can this be finally fixed? Other file managers that I tried are handling it correctly.
