Hi!
I simply refer to my mail on ML:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc/2007-April/msg00002.html
The workaround I suggested there is not usable, because it is _very_ slow.
The main problem: most archivers cannot do "unpack foo as bar" and we use
"unpack --unpack-to-stdout archive/foo > bar" and unpack won't return with
error in case of disk-full.
A possible workaround (pseudo-code):
extractto-dir = basedir(extractto)
extractto-name = undocumented ;-P
Then we could unpack to extractto-dir with the original name, then rename the
unpacked file to extractto-name.
Bye
