on windows I use peazip because I can right click context menu > extract to smart new folder - does 7zip do that? if so I'd switch back

I dont know what a smart folder is.
But you can extract to ./[archive name]

Depending on what you mean with "smart", when I used Windows 7zip also offered to extract into a new folder through a context menu

In this context (IIRC) smart means "if this zip contains a single folder with contents, directly extract that folder, but if the zip contains files and/or folders, extract all that to a new folder named the same as the zip file".

Some people zip folders while some people zip the files in a folder. Smart extraction just handles both automatically.

Seems to. MB3 and you have Extract which does a folder name and places them in that, or Extract Here which puts all the files in your current directory

7zip doesn't work well with win11. Read somewhere that the developer refuses to do something about it, but no idea. Went with nanazip, which is derived from 7zip
