Or use 7zip like any sane person

on windows I use peazip because I can right click context menu > extract to smart new folder - does 7zip do that? if so I'd switch back

Depending on what you mean with "smart", when I used Windows 7zip also offered to extract into a new folder through a context menu

[–] IndefiniteBen@leminal.space 14 points 8 months ago

In this context (IIRC) smart means "if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file".

Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.
