Then use WinRAR.
For the rest of us, this is expected behaviour, and I don't want 7z special-casing exes or always extracting all files in an archive just to open one.
- rat9988 4y agoAren't all extension special cased anyway?
- amoshi 4y agoIt could always be a setting. Feels like yet another situation where OSS prioritises principles over usability/practicality/reality.
- stavros 4y agoIf I want to open the README in a multi-gigabyte archive, why would I expect to extract all of it, even as a setting? This seems the expected and reasonable behavior to me, as a second data point.
- amoshi 4y agoBecause of the behaviour I detailed in my initial post? Wouldn't apply to ReadMe's though, it doesn't have to be that dumb. At least one other poster agrees with me in the comments too.
