IDEA: Convert Archives to Folders
« on: August 23, 2005, 10:00 AM »
90% of the time I delete archives that I have just extracted.

Wouldn't it B easier 2 have an archive context menu option "Convert to Folder".  Efficient!

Thanx 4 looking.

thats a very simple and elegant idea - all archivers should have that.
