Sorry, but have you even tried to look into the packer options ?
I guess not

Hello, christianh.

If I am not totally mistaken the default unpacking target folder used by the internal unzip function is the current folder displayed in the opposite Total Commander panel.
If your question aims at a Firefox like setting - Firefox defaults to download everything to the "download" folder - then Horst.Epp's answer applies: there is no such setting.

Kind regards,
Karl

I asked about a default folder for unpacking not packing. That's a difference.

Using TC 8.50 you can create such function by creating custom commands and combining commands.

Open default unpack folder in opposite panel (em_usercmd1:command:"cd .", start path: "c:\unpackfolder")

Start the unpack function (cm_UnpackFiles)

Combined command: em_usercmd1,cm_UnpackFiles
