Hit Alt+F6 on any archive. Change unpacking path to %TEMP%. Commander will create subdir "%TEMP%\" in the directory with archive and unpack it there - Christian suppose it's right. Well, what do you think? Should this dialog supports environment variable in general?

Environment variables should be interpreted everywhere in TC, not only in dialogs. It makes no sense at all to interpret %whatever% as a name for a directory or a file.

Add to that, that interpreting environment variables is very easy. Just a single API call: ExpandEnvironmentStrings()  |
