That's insane. I had no idea. Thanks for the tip!
- E6300 9y agoIt's because the 7-Zip file manager first extracts to %temp% and then copies (not moves) to the drop location. If you use the regular extract function it extracts to the destination directly. Using the Explorer context menu does the same thing, and thus is also fast.
- kyteland 9y agoI use the right click context menu on the archive file to 'Extract Here' which seems to accomplish the same thing.
