I saw notes about improved support for tar which had my hopes up but it doesn’t look like any changes were made to make handling of compressed tar files easier. For both compressing and decompressing it’s a two step process with 7zip which is pretty frustrating. On Mac I use Keka which makes it really simple. On Windows using 7zip first you have to compress to tar then compress to gzip or other, same with decompressing to first extract the tar and then unpack the tar. Otherwise it’s fantastic for my use cases.
- metalliqaz 4y agoyes that has always bugged me. it seems like in the rare cases where someone actually wants the .tar on the desktop, there could be a different "extract tar" or "extract inner" for that.
