Unpack queue by auto pause and start?

I know in the past it has been requested before to add a queuing feature for the unpacking mechanism similar to that of the copy file transfer queue. I think it was said it was not possible.

I had a new idea where instead of doing an entire queue dialog, just add an option to allow only one unpacking at a time and automatically pause unpack jobs that are created and only start them when the first one is finished.

This way I could start several unpacks of multi-archive files and not have to wait for them to finish between starting each unpack.

Just use WinRar. See here.

You know that you can mark more then one file and click unpack and they get extracted after each other?

Ok thanks that winrar solution seems to work fine. Yes, i know i can select multiple and queue them up. This is just for when i am unpacking at random and pushing the unpacks in to the background one at a time.
