   Hello again, g00r00!

   OK, a clarification might be in place:   
      
   The problem is only with the sanitization of the file name that one can   
   specify manually when choosing to (D)ownload (prompt #304) for an archiver   
   which has no built-in archive browser in Mystic.   
      
   So this does *not* affect archives which have built-in viewing support (ZIP,   
   LHA/LZH and RAR), as the path passed in %2 to the Unpack Cmd in those cases   
   *is* fully qualified.   
      
   So, in practice, on a default installation, this only concerns 7z (and LHA via   
   7z on Windows).   
      
   And any "picky" custom archivers one might have added after that, such as tar.   
   :)   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
