Altap Salamander Support Forums

Hi,

when extracting a file using WinRAR, which I often do in directories with lots of files, Salamander jumps to the extracted file and highlights it. If the extracted file is a directory, Salamander therefore jumps to the very top of the directory listing.

Is there a way to disable this behavior? I would prefer for Salamander to keep the focus on the file that I extracted from, i.e. the archive.

Kind regards,

I don't think there is a way using the standard archiver methods and working within one panel. The easiest way to achieve what you want is to navigate to the same folder in the second panel (Tab, Ctrl+., Tab) and then extract to the second panel (either chosen in the setup, or by pressing Ctrl+Down when the unpack dialog comes up and the cursor is in the extract to textbox)
