I have the new settings in my ini file of AlwaysUnpackInBackground=2 and have tried various settings, but when I select multiple files (i.e. multiple archives of different items) to unpack, it doesn't work: there's no way to either select "background" as an option or to make it work properly.
Am I missing something obvious or does background un/packing work only for single files (i.e. an archive of multiple parts but with only one "part01" file or only one *.rar file)?
Unpack multiple files in background? Is it possible

It's not supported because it works only with ZIP, and TC would have to open/check all selected archives whether they are all zips BEFORE even unpacking the first archive...

Could you please make it a hidden option in wincmd.ini then?
With this option enabled multiple files unpacking in background would be possible and when there will be file which can't be extracted in background error will be displayed, extraction stops.
Some workaround:
If you unpacking archives of the same type use a command line: ie:
I think there was some mechanism to remember such commands in tc which will fill out source and destination path, but i can't find it.
